ClassRacer.com Christmas Giveaway!

I enjoy class racing for a multitude of reasons...seeing the mechanical talents of many, the innovative spirit, the close racing . I think class racing embodies all that is good in the human spirit, we are fierce competitors for 1/4 of a mile, and helping and supportive friends the rest of the time.

The biggest reason I enjoy class racing is being able to be with my friends and family. I'm a 2nd generation drag racer, grew up at race tracks following my Dad. I've been fortunate enough to watch my son grow up to be a racer, too. I have no doubt my family will have a 4th generation drag racer at some point. The times we spent together, at the race track and in the shop, strengthened our family ties. The experiences we have shared are priceless.

I see a group dedicated to keeping their sport alive, for the fun, the challenge, and the camaraderie. Sure costs go up, and things arise now and then, but as a whole, the opportunity to race against and meet the people in Class racing is as much if not more of an incentive than the challenge of making something that has no business going fast perform in a tight rules window. So many neat cars and combinations and stories, and such a great colorful history as well. I hope more people see the same thing and continue to get involved, if at the least going to the events to watch, all the way up to jumping in with both feet to build a car. On that end, I have been involved in circle track, off-road, and demolition derbies, from driver to promoter, and no one group has been more willing to help a new competitor, or even a seasoned one, get started, refine, or repair their cars. Cars and combos will come and go, times will be good and bad, but based on the merits of the folks involved here, I just don't see any other place I want to be!

We love class racing because it is the last arena where the true sportsman drag racer can still strut his or her stuff by letting it all hang out young or old new car or traditional older in a heads up or class run and there are still TRUE brand rivalries Ford vs Chebbie, or Mopar, Nash vs Buick Olds or Pontiac etc.and even the occasional Cadillac or Fart can nerd car so as not to leave out Art , Tim or the self proclaimed super Honda or Hyundai or whatever it is and the west coast gerbil hauler

I have always loved the challenge of taking something stock and tweaking the life out of it and trying to be competitive. Cars that you can see driving down the street, something real that isn't purpose built but purpose made. It's nostalgic and makes me remember things from long ago. Lots of thoughts and emotions, certainly one thing sums it up for me, Fun!

Because .90 racing sucks!

[XSTOCKER]

Because class racers never stop searching for that little bit extra. A well known Super Stock guy once told me, "If you think you've found every hundreth that's left in your combination and you think there's nothing left in it.........you're in the wrong sport".
Merry Christmas!

Stock/super stock cars are the coolest race cars. Class racers are the friendliest and most eager to lend a hand. Racing a car under a given set of rules and finding what works and what doesn't is a fun challenge.

I think more than anything it's the sound of a stocker or super stocker firing up, idling, and running down the track. Also, it's the best car show there is (kinda partial to the older vehicles myself). Of course, picking up a tenth or two here and there and doing the work yourself is extremely rewarding. Ron.

I just think I can learn so much about the sport I have loved for 50 of my 64 years, by listening to, and asking advice from.............. Class Racers..

I'm new to racing class after a couple years of brackets. As a kid I loved growing up at the track and watching these cars that looked like they were right off the streets stand on the bumper, and listening to the high winding stick shift cars row through the gears. Watching 15 second stockers get chased down by 9 or 10 second stockers and all of it made me hooked. I was lucky enough to be able to accomplish a goal from when I started racing in 2007 still in high school and that was make my S10 a stocker. I got the chance to run a couple combo races this year and pulling into the lanes with this elite group that I watched as a kid growing up and dreamed being a part of, I finally was able to be part of the show
