The Future Of Stock

First off, it is just pro ET, like one said 68 spots 67 different cars (class)
You want new people, get rid of heads up, no more $40,000 396-375 engines, unless you want one, but now you have to actually race. I've talked to quite a few racers and that's the biggest road block to getting into class racing, the money outlay (for average guy not daddy WarBucks wanting to buy a race) I know this is blasphemy to most but things evolve. In the 50s-60s racing revolved around our cars, not now, it's plain to see NHRA doesn't want us around at national events and if you didn't provide the gate fees now we would be history. Wish and hope it'll be like the old days but not in this day and time. I vision myself as just making a few divisional races at best and do not want the hassles of a National event. Maybe I do need my head examined for getting into this. All my opinion
