The folks that are racing these days are it....that's all that's left. Young folks will not commit to the same things that we loved and built. It requires too much effort....and they're not interested. They can see that the aggravation to enjoyment ratio is upside down. There is so much that they can do with their time and money. It's sad, but it cost to much and Fletch and Bertozzi get all the money LOL Having said all that, I'm still working on my entry for S/S. I'm not in the younger group....I'm with you folks! But all my eggs are not quite in the same basket. I can enjoy my car in some other ways.

^^^ Those first 3 sentences fits me to a tee...newbie-one man operation with no family (or close friend) connection to class racing.

I ran my first NHRA Stock race in May of this year, so I have zero grade points, so maybe Indy next year for me.
Plus, the roll bar is not in my stocker yet, so I cannot enter S/S with it.(yet)

However, as posted above, Michael's Class Nationals will be THE event of the year in 2014.
