What Happened To Competition Eliminator Car Counts?

Lots of comp guys don't like to kill their index the first race of the year in Gainesville. So, I am sure that has a little to do with it, but I am sure the economy probably has some to do with it as well.

I love comp. I love watching comp. but the reality is, these guys spend about as much on research as pro stock. I respect what they do. But, if it's going to survive, it won't be imports that save it, it will be good old american cars with carbs and affordable induction.l

Some classes that would add flavor to the class such as a true econo funny car, a true econo altered, a true econo dragster, and a true econo modified. Like say, cars 72 and older only. The crowd loves them more and we're running a cobalt.

Well, I hope to have my comp Thunderbird ready by the time Gateway's event rolls into town.
