IMHO There's something to be said about knowing where you came from. A lot of what is stated and written has been the undercurrent of discussions in all the classes over the last few years. Larry has stature and tenure - somebody ( everybody) should pay attention. It was a well written article.

It's like he said on TV a long time ago "You can';t fix stupid".

He's right, and on a smaller level, Stock is in the same boat.

I think Larry held back on his comments about NHRA.

Superb article. Can't blame a guy for telling it as he sees it. A little bit of schmoozing his sponsor in the article, but you can't really blame him for that.

I can see lots of parallels from his interview that can relate to stock. The price of engines and building a car has gotten out of hand. A good set of heads now cost more than a complete engine did 12 years ago. Transmission that are 5K plus. No wonder we are seeing not very much new blood into the class. For the kind of money that it costs to be build a mid level class car, a kid can build a car that can run faster for less money

Only 15 pro stockers in Charlotte. They should be racing Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers that look like cars you can buy instead of all looking alike. Rules should be changed to reduce the costs. This is not rocket science to put on a good show that will interest folks.
