Default thanks NHRA..

Anyone else start a budget project with a goal on how fast they wanted to run and now due to NHRA's great idea to drop index's you may be re-evaluating and maybe not even running stock in the near future?

Story: Me(21) and my bro(20) decide we want to build a stock just under a year ago. We both are full time students at UofA but have a part time jobs with some extra spending money. both been in the sport for a while but dad has paid for nearly everything. We decide we can put together a car that may run just under index and be perfect to get our feet wet without dads money. around $12,000 dollars and a couple Christmas and b-day gifts later.. 8 months of sweat and BAM! stocker complete.. first day testing and were actually a tenth faster than we had hoped for when the build started.. problem is we intended to be about 3 tenths under in the beggining so at tracks like Firebird where they get no altitude correction we will be a couple hundredths too slow.
We will find the ET I have very little concern of that. We've been in this sport too long to just quit because we're too slow. BUT it got me thinking how on earth do we expect people on a budget to even consider trying to join our sport? this is our first try at stock and i guarantee that may people would either sell the car and find a new sport or they will look to some of the other more exciting associations where they can go a hell of a lot faster with a hell of a lot less restrictions for the same amount of cash...

rant over ha
good lucky this year everybody
