If it wasnt for the money collected the class legal cars days would be numbered. They are old news to the younger crowd. Look around.....we are OLD and getting older. Todays spectator doesnt know or care if the car has a 283 or a 426 Hemi under the hood. All they want to see is a fast show (entertainment). Its all about the easy entry money and associated expenses the associations are collecting. No real tech problems other than safety items and they dont have to have tech inspectors with the knowledge to do the job of tear downs. The Alcohol cars are there to keep the track from rusting.....

The TS and TD car put nobody in the stands. If the do, where are they?? They must be hiding, they aren't sitting in the stands. The stands are always pretty much empty at div points races.

And nobody watches the .90 cars. At the national events, when they come up the last few people in the stands leave. No mater how fast they run at the finish line, there are several small block doors in Super Stock that run quicker, and they don't take off, almost die, then go again. They sell them a lot of pit passes and car entries, but not spectators. Not in div 4 anyway. Nobody care how close they may be at the finish line, that's not where they are sitting. It looks dumb as heck where they are sitting. That's racing dumbed way down. "Build anything you want, but don't run quicker than XX.90".

Divisional races used to pack them in, but Top Fuel and Pro Stock used to also run WCS races.
