Re: Drag Racing Is Dead
In the Stock Car Classification guide are 2 years of Honda Civic and 1 year of Mitsubishi Truck. In the Rulebook is also the SS/MX classes. Somebody went to the trouble to get these submitted, laying at least a beginning groundwork for Imports in Stock/SS.

Re: Drag Racing Is Dead
I've been working on a Toyota Super Stock car for a few years now. It's been slow but hopefully this year I will have it running. It is a 1986 Toyota Corolla ae86 rear wheel drive powered by a Toyota 2jz non turbo straight six cylinder engine with a powerglide. It's built for Super Stock CX, the index is 11.00. I raced a 327 Chevelle for years before this , my enthusiasm for something this different has gone up and down but no one is going to buy it so we'll have to see what it does.

Re: Drag Racing Is Dead
When I got into this sport there were a lot of older guys who were really good at engine stuff and some who were good at driving, some had both those skills. Most of them got that way from learning by trial and error, getting experience.
Now I am older and all of us young-uns back then are older too. Our ranks are dwindling due to age and a variety of challenges. But there is a whole new crop of young-uns out there now. Stock and SS is alive, just the sanctioning body is limiting its participation at the national event level. What about new blood in the sport? Difference is the cars we had you could work on them compared to todays cars. And today has far more imports on the road. Some on here post about the "street venues" attracting crowds, it is true, they do pack them in. Maybe it is time to incorporate them.

Re: Drag Racing Is Dead
i think the nhra has to stop looking to the automotive industry to enter their cars into the nhra. There are plenty of challengers, mustangs, camaros and chargers that could be added if the nhra could bring them in.
