All I can say, after reading all this. Just motivates me to work harder. Someday, maybe I can be part of the fraternity.

It really is the friends and the cars. ....No matter what you think about the way ,or class someone else races, you can still be friends with the person behind the car and appreciate the work and craftsmanship involved with it............Look at the History channel show ,Madhouse. .....You would never see that extreem rivalry/ hatered in drag racing. ....Sure there's some heated rivalries, that's what makes it interesting , but we drag racers ,as a much larger group at the track get along pretty well. .....Try putting that many dirt/ asphalt circle racers together for as many days as we are ,and the track opperators would be calling out the Guard. ..............I've made friends with people at the drags , that non racers find amazing that that type of person would be that accessable.......Tom ...............PS , Really, it the beer and the BBQ!!! ....... Great post Ken.

Wow, I was not sure there would be this many responses. Its so nice to here about the positive in our sport. Everything said in this thread rings true. The people and the cool cars that we race, what a combo.

Good luck to everyone this year, and remember this formula.

people+cars+stock/superstock=

Its time together as a family for us. Starting this year, myself, my sister and my father will all be driving stockers together. How cool is that.

I love having a clutch car and pretending its a prostocker on 9" tires

Wheelies rule. They may not be fast but the last time I took the car testing on bracket night at Wichita in the fall I stood it up way too high. The announcer personally came to tell me everyone in the stands were on their feet. Lets see a super class/bracket car do that.

I alway thought it would be "way cool" to have a car show at the national event. Bring all the stockers and super stockers together in one area for the fans to come see and ask questions.

Besides looking at all the cool cars and talking to the fans and drivers, I think one of the neatest things is it gives you a chance to be with the whole family and friends. What can be better than doing what you like to do with your family and friends there to support you. We are looking forward to Tim driving this year in A/S. I think it brings the good out of people and gives people something to look forward to besides negative stuff going on today.
Neat group of people. Plus like Troy said wheelies rule.
