The end of class racing....again...

[1320racer]

Says mr. desk top dyno, a nobody, a computer programmer, an old man who never raced and that no one here with a clue gives him, nor his malarkey the time of day and no surprise once again, he only replies to this thread to comment about me.

Pathetic fool who won’t be around in 2040!

That said at some point, sooner than later this will end and before that happens, sponsors will continue to part ways with the NHRA, the contingency program will continue to erode, entry fees will continue to rise while payouts will remain the same or be cut. If this survives beyond 2040, it will be very different than what it is today. Doesn?t matter me, I?ll be be bowing out no later then the end of this decade.

Interesting how for the rest of us the end of this decade is 2030.

Stop wasting what little time you have left on this rock! No one with a clue here, cares what you have to say, you’re not a racer and never have been.

Ed,
If this is so why do you continue to post on Stock and Super Stock page?

Because I can!

Where I chose to spend my $ has nothing to do with my opinion as to when class racing as we know it today will end.

There?s nothing like putting your son in a fast car and watching him win. I?ve done it and I wouldn?t trade it for nothing.
However ,building a stocker has its rewards also. I love to do fabrication, suspension , motors and tuning. Stock is just plain cool!
Ed, I think you would have a blast in stock and it would serve the purpose in Brackets too. Or Superstock? you are at most events there running SC anyway?

No, We haven't class raced in 2 years. Don’t know yet if we will in 2025. We only want to class race IF we can commit to the full schedule to run for a championship. If not, we have no interest in showing up for a few events.

That said, IF I was to run stock eliminator it will be in a COPO.

He's a self proclaimed billy badass that never got respect in the racing community and clearly was bullied in school with that last name.

Further El Douche has never been a former competitive racer in any class much less S/SS nor .90. Further yet, he is wrong as usual as I am not a former .90 racer.

Well Mr.1320 here's the thing - I don't know you or Mr.El Duderino 'cause I'm just another pathetic old man who is not trying to bait you but maybe you should lighten up a bit as you seem to be down on Stock - Super Stock and the NHRA for many years .As a racer who has raced in New Jersey alot not to mention D1 and many other divisions I can't remember seeing you at all let alone winning anything anywhere in Stock or S/S yet you act as an expert on these matters .Why not just have a little fun instead of trying to belittle folks . Merry Christmas PS - Wally may be in his grave but his spirit lives on thru many of us.

"It's the economy, stupid." James Carville

As with many hobbies and avocations, the economy and disposable incomes has a lot to do with who participates and at what level.

We've been stuck in the mud for the past 4 years. I see attitudes, outlooks and reasons to be optimistic getting better every day. I see people with that "let's roll up our sleeves and get busy now" frame of mind.

I'd like to think fuel will come down and travel not be so expensive. Inflation not be such a killer to budgets. Business pick up.

Now that we know what the next few years won't be, we can be optimistic about what they will be.

As we get into 2025, I think people will feel more able to spend some money, get cars back out, and get out of that bunker mentality. When things get tight and uncertain, often parking the race car is the first thing that happens for many people.

Buddy of mine has a small transmission business he's run for almost 30 years. In the last 4 years he has seen his business see-saw up and down. The week before the election his phone had pretty much stopped ringing, not even any tire kickers. He was afraid if things didn't change he was done.

Saw him the other day and since the election things have picked up very well. He's guardedly optimistic he's going to make it.
