Chad you were not around in the 60's or 70's. You have no clue how much money I made because of stupidity. In the mid 70's we made 18,500 in one night a bit more than the W.R.Grace Cup.
Believe me those people back then were no brighter than the kids of today.
And there are others on here that saw that race.

i agree there, for sure. But this generation has a whole lot more lazy, and a whole lot less respect for rules. They'd rather bolt a turbo on a stock car and go fast, than build a stocker.

Chad you are the type of person that paid my rent back in the days. We never raced a car that wasn't sure they could beat us. Out of 100 or so decent buck races we lost 3. And we were far from the fastest car.
I proved how easy it was to get a turbo car to run. Even I made it go fast.
It is the biggest bang for the buck. And that's why they are stupid? Years ago people had junkyards to scrounge for parts. FLASH!!! They still do, but you ain't going to find a 60's musclecar in them. You find Neons, Hondas Etc.
If you think this generation is dumb. In my generation I made HP while almost everyone else made love (the flower generation)

Art: Back in the day, I would street race my stocker out on Long Island. I would have either the M&H street tires or 9" slicks and tiny headers, the first words out of the other racer was " are you going to race with those small tires?" . I knew at that point that they didn't stand a chance. I'd get the break and they were done fore!

Casey. That's the point I'm trying to make. This Generation doesn't have a patent on stupid. If given the chance some of them would gravitate towards stk/ss. Not a lot but enough to replace us. Now there is no chance for that.

NEWS FLASH ART. I built my best friend's low 8 sec drag radial car. Its a turbo fox body. the only thing you would have done was lost money to me. I'm more and more convinced that you have completely lost your mind. If there was a DEMAND for imports in stock/ss then maybe you'd see some.
