Would You Quit?

[GTX JOHN]

I would probably Primer my class cars and
go back to Street Racing again......I certainly
made a lot more money doing that in the Old
Days!







Just Kidding (Maybe)

X275 for me!

One thing you guys don’t understand....Without the good folks at NHRA, there are no updated horsepower figures, .....No tear downs at the local association races ....No Problem....I know , I know ..we have minimal tear downs now but...without the blessing of NHRA...you ain’t seen nothing yet.....

I mean without NHRA, There will be NO up to date factors.....so there will probably be no heads up , no scales ....at the association races...kinda like bracket 2 non delay....

Can you say Top Sportsman.

I would continue to race with our Southern Stock Super Stock Assn. and then maybe do some index racing when I could. Maybe some other associations events in the south east. The cars would loose some value if that were to happen. Car counts have been up a bit since the economy has rebounded. So I think we are pretty safe unless the Democrats get full power. Then All racing could be in jeopardy. Hope that does not happen. Racing is a huge business.

I would dismiss quitting as an option for me. Over the past dozen years, our Can Am Stock/SS Series has proven to me that friendship is my primary reason for planning my summer schedule around race weekends. I would hope that local groups such as ours would continue to operate and modify the format as necessary to maintain a healthy membership. Nostalgia events would, no doubt, grow in size with the influx of “orphan” Sportsman cars from the qualifying years; my car falls into that era.

Chances are that I would see what the rest of the guys had in mind and react accordingly - if they decided to take up golf, I might have better odds to win a few “rounds”.

MJ gets it on the nose. Without the the "base line" Nhra rules/ tech, the associations will only fizzle and die into bracket racers with letters on their windows. Back to the orig post How easy is it to quit ???? If your a causal player, own a stock bodied type of car , pretty easy. If your life has evolved around it and you've progressed to vehicles that are so specifically built, not so. How do you sell what you have when there are no buyers cause no body races? I think maybe dry lakes for me.

And you don't think that without the "Ivory Tower" types breathing down their necks you/we couldn't get a Travis or a Redman in conjunction with a Dwight to do what they just barely do ? They don't even enforce their own rules anymore!
