Let's not start bashing the kids please, face it as kids how much of a clue did we have? Man I could build a fleet of cars with the stuff I broke over the years, some due to ignorance, some from the no money factor. Personally I've seen a few of the import racers who's stuff was pretty impressive, not all but quite a few. Why not let these racers try their hand at making their stuff run, whos it hurting? My kids a very good bracket racer and has some decent mechanical skills, is he ready to assemble a 10,000 rpm engine.... no but he's learning just like all of us had to learn. Comparing the seasoned class racer to the upstart racer is just not fair I'm sure if we all think back we can all see that it didn't happen overnite, it took years to develope the skills to field our cars, for those of you who were born with this gift I salute you.

I'm more comparing the 20 something domestic racers to the 20 something import racers, BIG difference. And I'm barely over 30 myself so i still consider some of these guys my generation.
