Mark, you bring up some good points here. The quota system has pretty much "locked out" the average S/SS Racer as far as Natl. Events go. I can deal with that. I was getting sick of the theatrics anyway. I enjoy the Divs. and Natl. Opens and they give me my "fix". I don't get out to the Assn. Races but there are a few really good Assns. here in the northeast.
I don't think that the average Wanna-be Racer realizes just how easy and in-expensive it really is to put together one of these "penny savers". As "specialized" as even the average foot-brake bracket car has become, it's got to be cheaper and easier to build a competitive "under class" Stocker.
The way many of the local tracks here in the northeast have cut back their bracket programs, some to as little as 2 or 1 day a month, it would almost make sense to build a "Dime Rocket" S/SS car. You can bracket race a S/SS car. You can't S/SS race your bracket car. It just seems to me that it would be logical to build a car that you can get the most use out of.
