I'm very glad that both Summit and Jegs do as much as they do for both Sportsman racing and that they continue to be, consistent, the low price leaders for most of our parts.

I have no idea how I will follow Comp Eliminator and Super Stock round by round now.

From how I read Larry Sullivan's reply you will get the national event information, as before, and the divisional information at the end of the day. It's not like we're not going to get this information, just won't be as timely as it was. We will survive. ;-)

Most GOOD local speed shops can match and occasionally beat their pricing

How this brings back memories of waiting for the National Dragster in the mail......to see if anyone "hit" your national record, thus the "index" you had to run on.... (Yep I am old)

I will be disappointed if we only get division race information at the end of the day. As I get older, and attend fewer races, DRC is my lifeline. But, realistically, in these economical times, I also understand where advertisers need to cut back. Personally, In the case of Summit (in which I buy probably 90% of my stuff).....I would like for them to consider only one Pro Stock car instead of Two.....and "plowing" a portion of the advertising funds back into DRC.

Regardless of a Summit decision, I will probably still buy from them because of pricing, service and availability.

We are facing the times when High Performance parts are not in demand.....IMO...anyone with a muscle car already has a garage full of parts. Very few are building new ones. So, suppliers are required to diversify and spread out to "off road", "dirt car", and "street rods"...Summit has already done this.

Our local speed shop is a great place to go if you need a Baid system or a car stereo. But thats about it. I miss the days to them as well.

My local Speed Shop is fantastic.
The owner is a member here.
He has helped me with several projects and is now helping me make the move to Class Racing from Brackets.
His prices are always competitive and his after sales support is second to none.
