Comp racers seek to show eliminator is very much alive

I love Comp but let's be real it is extremely expensive to be competitive and that's what is keeping the cars home and new people from entering the class. I was recently looking at the classified ad Mr Aragona had on this site, what a steal for that altered but not many can justify buying it when there might not be a year or two left them you're stuck with something that's worth pennies on the dollar.

I agree totally.

I also agree that inclusion of the faster FS cars in to Comp could very well help save the class and the good news is they already exist.

I probably should mind my own business on this one, but seeing it's in our section, here we go anyway.
So plan to rejuvenate and replenish Comp is to tell the same semi-retired racers to freshen up their stuff and come on out and race, because Comp is not going away until there are no cars left?
That's it?
Come on, boys. You can do better than that.

In 1988 I was runner up in Montreal in SC won $8300 the following weekend at the IHRA Sportsnationals in Marion Ohio I won QR and won over $12,000 not even close these days for payouts but I really hope there is a save for comp eliminator

Boy, I look at that ad every day and think, "do the boys really need to go to college?!"

I'd love to have that car and compete in Comp. I've seen how hard it is and how much luck in involved and I'd still love to give it a try. How bad does that make me :-)

I'll still pick up a couple lottery tickets and I've probably got Jr and Sr's numbers memorized from looking at them so much.

Korey, with that runner up last weekend, stay in SS and put your kids thru college. Congrats

The old saying probably applies to Comp eliminator racing more than some other categories...
