I always thought racing was racing, no matter the class, but as I read this thread, I find that as I no longer am able to race (doctor said quit), that I may need to reevaluate. I come to this site to learn any info that I can gleam from people that should be in the know better than. But I also come to see how our sport is progressing or moving. After reading this thread, it may be time for a new evaluation. Many people people are posting, some that race, some like me that have to only go look, and those that help. Some of the info is good, some is so so., but all is conversation about OUR sport. Would like to make a observation as Mr Stimpson did, but got personally criticized. In case most of you have not recognized, class racing is on the down turn, both in numbers participating and in those people attending races to watch. So I feel we should be particular in how we criticize anyone for making a observation or contributing any input. Lets not let this be a part of the reason for the down turn. Also the other side should be a little more tactful with your inputs as your racing may turn down also. When you are at a track, that is a family, like it or not. It is really a family reunion of people that participate in a sport of gear heads. I do not want to ever have to go to yellow bullet because this forum stinks as some of this thread does.
