Default Re: Hemi Head Ruling

It was SS/AH that sparked my interest into Superstock racing. Being around these cars made me want to build a superstock car, but I just didn't know what kind or how.

I knew I could never afford to build/race an AH car, but as an outsider looking in the cars are just amazingly fast for what they are, crazy if you ask me. And I always thought that was really cool. Plus the cars, themes, paint jobs, and the coooks that own them are a blast as well. You have to be a bit off of your rocker to build/race an AH car, which is why I get along with them. haha

As a fan of the SS/AH class I don't like seeing the car counts diminishing as the years pass, but it's not just this class, it's overall. I do however think that this class is definitely salvageable and definitely worth saving!! But it seems like they'll need some help from NHRA.

I know a lot of "original super stock" guys think that my car doesn't belong in the class, just like I feel than any FWD 4 cylinder car converted to a V8 RWD shouldn't be either. But that is why I was always interested in Superstock. So many classes, platforms and combinations and well built cars. Instead of having an attitude like "this isn't a real super stocker" maybe embrace it and grow as times change??? I have a feeling that is the only way for class racing to continue growing instead of dying off.

Just an opinion from a different point of view, and a tad off topic.
