driver OK report

It was Roger Comstock. Hope he's okay, probably a little sore. He has a lot of great cars and he and his wife race a lot. However even his wife had a rear quarter panel bump with the wall.
The whole problem with these cars is a lot of power, a short car and the fact that they are allowed in Stock eliminator on a little 9" tire. This is just plain STUPID. I started racing when Super Stock was first created. It was for the hottest Detroit iron (and there were a lot) from Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac and Chrysler. Those new cars are the Super Stocks of today and should BE THERE! The supercharged ones should ALL BE IN SUPER STOCK ONLY. They are crashing all the time and with that much power it won't end soon. I raced until about 5 years ago, I still go watch, it gets in the blood. I almost got an '08 Mustang CJ when they came out but the expense of doing what it takes to make it among the fastest plus the travel expenses to hit all the divisionals, regionals, and National events and old age made me not do it. Just raced my old Thunderbolt until a person offered me a pile of money for it and I said bye bye to a car I ran for 10 years. I was done, still go when I can but happy just to watch especially the S/SS cars like where I started.
