I don't see how what is proested today is all that different from what was protested in the sixties. And if you can't grasp global warming, I have zero intention of educating you.
And yes, it's not a car culture. But that fad was already dying before we started getting adisposable income. But I don't hear generation x getting the blame. The unsustainable model you complain about happened on the baby boomer watch, not ours. Motorsports used to be at the cutting edge of technology. Driving innovation into the auto sector. Now technology has left drag racing in the dust. We are spending tens of thousands of dollars at trying to refine 19th century technology. Do you think that much time and effort went into steam drive technology in the 1930's? I am going to see s/ss as we know die in my life time. I don't know how to fix it, but I'm going to enjoy it as long as I can.

Side note. I would be interested in seeing how fast Allen Johnson could make a vehicle go down the track. No rules, no limitations, probably no driver, just how fast is possible.

Just one correction, its 20th century technology. The 19th century would've been the 1800's and we spend all this money refining the old technology because that's what Stock/SS is all about.

Pretty sure the internal combustion engine is 1800s technology.

I'm 40 years old, and I completely understand why more people aren't involved in racing. I spend tens of thousands of dollars every single year, work my *** off, and then we all spend the off time complaining about some aspect of it online.

If I wasn't born into it, I don't know what the appeal would be!

Ok if you want to look at it that way, I was specifically speaking of the engine combinations that we are working on. But again that's what Stock is about, improving old technology and making it as fast and efficient as possible.
The global warming thing, I'm not even going there!

Cooter the basic carburetor design and even spark ignition goes back to the late 1800's...…"infernal" combustion engine as well....


We all can argue up a storm about this topic but it does not really help.


Times change, people change, what was once popular is not any longer


NASCAR and NHRA does things they think will help their bottom line.


The bean counters and lawyers drive the bus......period...
