The latest cars with the low hp ratings will help generate interest in the new cars, get them built, and get them on the track for all the young racers, (and kids) at the track to see, touch, taste, and smell. Don't get me wrong, my car as well is not competitive against the low rated newer stuff, but what else is going to get these youngsters out of their Hondas and Subarus and into Detroit iron?

Like I posted in the other thread where you had a similar post, before you edited it, these $50K to $100K new cars aren't going to do it. The kids you're talking about do not have the money, the time, or the interest. We sell parts and services to them every day. They're not interested in class racing with all of the rules, all of the effort, and all of the expense. If they did want to run Stock or Super Stock, and they didn't want old iron, they'd be scarfing up all those LSx F bodies and building them, or the Mustangs, or the ones with money would get Corvettes. But they aren't. Because they don't want to spend the money, the time, or the effort, and they don't like all the rules. I hear it every day when we open the doors.
