I am only suggesting a way to involve new blood in the sport. Mark, you have been racing for what, 5 or 6 decades? When was the last time you saw a youngster who wanted to race a 69 Camaro or a 2013 Camaro? Honda's are todays Hemi Cuda's and SS 396 Chevelle's.

I think it is time for a change.......................jus sayin'

Charlie don't forget Mark Yacavone won Stock Eliminator in Englishtown With a four cylinder Escort, he was a revolutionary way back then. You're right Mark, NHRA isn't looking back in their rear view finder for the racers they've ran over with their price gouging.Claude

YES I remember that !!

The Flint Stone mobile..

He needed a new set of Tennis Shoes after the race

Mark nailed them with other slow Stockers too.

Remember Stan Welch in his W/S Station Wagon who also seemed to take the stripe a lot.

I just hope I don't have to put neon lights under my Camaro to be legal after a rules change.

Hello all Pure Stock Racers

Send me your email.
Going to start a database of Racers.
Same goes for anyone considering building a Pure Stocker

Or anyone wanting to have their Foreign or Domestic Car Certified to run Pure Stock.

Eventually going to create an online magazine of sorts.
Small at first and let the layers build over time.

This is going to be a long and sustained to get more and more people interested.

Going to be fun !!

I sometimes take the PT cruiser to grudge race night at Gainesville, $20 to race all night. You would think that would bring in the fart can kids but it doesn't, there may be 10 cars there but that's the max.
The fact is that the last few generations are not interested in drag racing and most don't even know what it is.
Nope, just give them a computer,a $500.00 phone and a Mall and that's all they need.
Sad.

One Friday night at Tulsa, at the test n tune deal, I was in the staging lanes next to a Honda, goofy wing on the deck lid (FWD car), clear tail lights, graphics, etc. he was showing his time slip to another kid. I heard him say "15.34? These clocks are screwed up! Everybody knows this is a nine second car!" Lmao!
Only in his wettest dreams. LOL
Not many run like Cary's.
