Re: Thinking about this in depth.......
If the breakout wasn't in force stock and superstock would be gone.
I liked the go fast racing that NHRA instituted back in the mid 70's. So did John Hershlow, and Bernie Agaman. (they ran Etown on a regular basis). But back then the deep pocket only got you so far. Junkyard parts were available at reasonable prices. We worked hard on the car and were upper second string. As far as winning went. We went a few rounds and occasionally won.
That was before all the "HIGH DOLLAR" enhancements. Almost everyone had an open trailer etc. Given the same go fast racing today. You would have 10 or 12 cars show up at a national event. Only the megabuck guys could compete.
For all of you that hate the shoe polish. Please leave and go Comp racing, or if you don't like the 1000' stuff. Build a prostocker I'm sure your knowlege and expertice will put you right up there with WJ.
But for Gods sake leave us lowly shoe polish racers alone.
Don't fix what ain't broke.
