But let's face it our sport was on a downward spiral. In 2007 membership for stk and ss was at a 15 year low. It needed some kind of shot in the arm to boost interest. I know some of you don't feel like I do, but putting these Comobs in with a soft HP sparked tons on interest and support from manufactures . And according to NHRA at PRI this year new membership is up over 250 members in SS and STK from 2007. You guys can taking all you want about HP but if there is no SS or STK what does it matter? HP well work itself out, it always does.



Kenny can you make a racer poll
Bruce should quit racing with NHRA
Bruce should stay racing with NHRA
Let's let the racing community of class racer vote

Cute Charley, but even if I decide to quit someday it won't change what you and your buddies have done to Stock.

Charley,

I think I will stay out of this one, you seem to be doing just fine without my help. The changing of the guard is not always easy or pretty.

All I can says is, I'm building a new engine for Shelby, and when its done I will be racing in CC. I have had a few heads up races and got my butt kicked, but for the most part I'm still competitive and still having fun. Being involved in two new cars and having my old car tells me we can all live together. These cars are here to stay for better or worse, and so am I.

I do respect everyone's opinion, but I hate to see things get so ugly. A little respect goes a long way towards each other, but I can't force members to show respect, I can only suggest it.

Andrew, the 352 has some great parts, but CNC’D Heads are not one of them.

The whole point is we (the old car racers) are paying a hell of a price for NHRA's plan to bring new blood to stock by making the playing field so biased against the older combo's. What rational person would sit at a poker table knowing the deck was stacked against them? I think NHRA has greatly underestimated the lack of perception of the Stock eliminators racers such as Kyle Ratcliff as he continues to show up for this fiasco when NHRA continues to crap on old car combo's.
If no FX class for new cars then how about a nostalgia prefix for the older cars?
NHRA has to quit droping piranhas in the goldfish tank.

Are you being nice to me because I didn't mention your flat feet?
