Crate Motor Class

It's sad, all these pages bashing the thought of crate motor cars coming too play from all these "old guys". It's clear you could care less about the future of the sport you helped build over the last 30-40yrs(thank you btw) , if you did you would welcome evolution and a cost effective way for the younger generation to get into the sport of classracing, isn't that ONE of the attractions of the crate motor class? To diminish someone's intelligence because they don't build a NHRA legal car but now want to play in ththe NHRA because their sanctioning body is no longer around is more of an elitist attitude vs what the spirit of classracing is. If my father didn't raise my brother and I on the idea of building a car within the guidelines of rules (aka a classcar), I'd gladly go play with the freak show cars like everyone else my age is doing and save thousands and thousands of $$. And to give me credentials on this , I'm 33 yrs old with a AA/SA 69 camaro and a SS/JA 68 Camaro...that yes I own and built.... (felt the need to put that last sentence to avoid any negative comments thinking I'm a "high , glassy eyed" crate motor guy chiming in)
