Dilbert, SS is who I'm talking about. Many still build their own. Others don't care to go faster, don't test to get faster, just bracket race it.

1970 was a long time ago, most buy their engines and the racers typically collecting Wallys are current or former bracket racers!

Yep. That dumbed it down with these bogus-soft indexes to where anybody with anything can run under. Like "for a grand".

Want to add, not just anybody could have put one under the index "for a grand", but even Billy putting one under the index for that amount means the indexes are too soft.

Bracket racing is where the slow guys that just could not run fast enough used to go. Now on Sunday everybody is fast. Don't have to know anything anymore.
