Every time they would answer "Too slow", not one time did anybody mention a particular kind of car. Always just "Too slow". Guessing not enough noise or 300 MPH.

In my opinion any aspect of class of cars racing can and should be promoted to create excitement . Everyone knows NHRA has done nothing to promote any interest in Stock and Super Stock ever . Alan Reiheart has been doing a great job talking about different makes of cars when he announces as well as other announcers . He does a great job announcing but NHRA corp has done nothing to make our class of cars exciting I suspect there are many ways that Stock and Super Stock can be promoted more in NHRA fans eyes but this has not happened yet . Also as the number of Pros goes down NHRA will need other exciting ways to push in the racing arena Stock and Super Stock could and should be one of the most exciting forms of racing to watch all it needs it Promotion
