S/SS racing is as expensive/inexpensive as an individual wants to make it. If someone can't afford the expense of a "top shelf" program yet doesn't want to race on a budget then that someone doesn't want to race all that bad.

Billy,
The young people I mentioned simply are not attracted to the "Dime Rockets" you race. There is nothing wrong with your choices, they just can't relate to them.
Frank
P.S., Your cars are butt ugly!

Frank, again I will say if a young person wants to race badly enough then that young person will race whatever he or she can afford to race.

P.S., a hammer is a hammer, I've never known a pretty hammer to do a better job than an ugly hammer. The only thing that changes is the size of the ego swinging it.

The entire conversation is moot when it shifts to “young people” AGAIN, young people, Millennials and Generation Z obviously aren’t interested in class racing regardless whether the car is a COPO or a “dime rocket”

"Young People" who aren't raised into or brought into it aren't interested in NHRA racing.
But again I will say, if a young person wants to race badly enough then that young person will race whatever he or she can afford to race. You can see it every weekend at Numidia, Beaver, etc,etc,....
