They either don't care or don't like stk/ss or even worse they don't recognize the quality of cars and competition on the track. We have new vs old cars, fast vs slow, 100 to 150 mph. I bet the car down the first early drag strip had DOORS. Our race cars today, STOCK and SUPER STOCK, are the evolution of that first car.

You are kidding yourself. Those of us on this forum may see it that way, but the average spectator just wants to see cars running on the edge. Nitro, Pro Mod, drag radial, no prep. The alcohol cars are very quick, Pro Stock is quick, but spectators can't tell one run from the next.
