Personal indexes for s/superstock - Page 2

There might be something about this issue. Fox Sports has spent time focusing on the Comp classes during their national coverage.. Old, new and rails and funky combos. Similar transition like S/SS(Dime Rockets front and center). Might be a good new and profitable direction for all.

All the Comp guys I know think its as stupid as hell. We already know trying to explain our classes is hard, wait till we would have to try and explain why 2 J/SA cars running each other was no longer a heads up. As was mentioned, just like socialism.....

Bam! ( That's the sound of the mic drop)

I think not!! I'm not sure of the comp guys take, but their car count numbers are not improving. I don't know if the P I has anything to do with it, sounds like a poor idea to me.

and then maybe hire someone in California that just might know something about engine combos and cars in general.

What? No.

NO. (...and the "S" does NOT stand for snowflake.)

So your car would have a personal index like a bowling handicap? Then why ever work on your car? Sounds like socialism to me.It may help the low budget team, but its also a slap in the face for those who work hard and spend money they sometimes don't have to be competetive.

Uh, no...

This coming from someone who is .40+ behind the fast guys... I'd rather keep picking at it and driving my a** off when I have to.
