Deconstructing Stock

HR9121 · 06-28-2012, 09:32 PM

I see alot of good young drivers in stock here in division 9, but the reality of it is that for the most part they were raised up into it. Don't really think that's what you would call new blood. With that said I look around the pits now and don't see alot of young kids( under say 16 ) running around they're probably in the motorhome playing video games. I don't really see what u call any young gearheads in my area either unless you consider the boys with the imports with the fart can mufflers buzzing down the road. So that could be your new entry level class, import fart can stock- IF/CS

Any economics majors out there?If so compare the cost of the really fast stockers from back in the golden age in todays dollars.I'll bet there wont be much of a difference.Same for the comparative cost of parts,fees fuel costs etc.It comes down to a new attitude AND
an unwillingness on the part of those in charge to control the costs and conduct of the
races,not to mention knuckling uder to the car manufacturers,TV production companies and malcontents who want any sort of advantagous rule changes.
You can never go back.
