I stand by my comment.

That is still just your opinion. Many love them. A lot of technology developed there has trickled down to sportsman classes, maybe down to even stock. I guess you don't like SS/GT cars either? FWD conversions and more often then not carburetors. Sounds like you really love stock eliminator, so it's great you can race there. That doens't make somebody else's class bogus. A long time friend of mine from here won Pro Stock at Seattle this past Sunday. If you knew more about those cars you might be more impressed with them.

Ed, I said the NHRA term Pro Stock. I said nothing derogatory about the drivers ,or even the technical sophistication of the cars. That being said, I'd still rather be watching Mike Edwards race his Maverick in Modified Eliminator.
You brought up SS/GT. Yes, you're right .I would prefer to watch SS cars ,using the same engine they came with from the factory with......not FWD conversions with the 350 SBC combo of the week that's not beat up too bad.
This is the same reason NASCAR lost me years ago.
You've got to remember, I'm in the nostalgia business. LOL
