The PT Cruiser Turbo Convertable that Blossom ran was nicer than my wife's which has only 17k miles and never sleeps out. And I don't care what system you have Bob and Charles and a couple others will always be out there.

But now. Why BOTHER

I remember when Firestone made Sox and Martin some front racing tires with the name "RONNIE SOX" in raised white letters back in the stone age for the 1970 or 71 'Cuda Pro Stocker. .

If you dont have the fastest older combo in your class you have no reason to bitch about the new combos. I mean if you cant outrun the old stuff quit complaining about the new stuff. Read my post on page 2 if you want the whole explanation

Bull. That's about the stupidest argument there is on all of this. Anyone who has a decent running older combination has a legitimate complaint.

Example: We race a 69 Camaro 427/425. Odds are, we'll never race DeArmond or Sorenson, because we run in Division 2, 3, and 4. But we win our share of heads up races and class races in our area. So neither of them are a factor for us, but several of the new cars ARE in the area where we race. So regardless of your B.S. opinion, yeah, we do have a legitimate complaint. Because we can usually run with most of the legitimate and reasonably factored combinations, at least close enough to make it a real race. But we can't run with the new cars, no matter what we do (at least within the rules).

So what your telling me is your are the fastest older combo at any race you go to. I dont know if you guys realize it or not but stock and SS were on their way out, at least now there is something that has a new spark to possibly keep it around a little longer. SS racing has been good to my family for 45 years, it started in 1965 and my dad has lived a very good because and it all started SS racing in the 60's. But face the music guys, you are being replaced by Top Sportsman and Top Dragster, maybe if we can get chevy to build a car then keep the factories involved we may prolong the end of an era another 20 years or so. BUT I can promise you as a former track operator Stock and SS are so far off the screen in the big picture its not funny. Give them another year to take care of it, I mean you guys werent bitching when the LT1 came out, oh wait there was no message board back then.

So what your saying is unless you have $100,000 to $200,000 to piss away there is no place for the little guy to race in a few years.

I missed the PRI show this year so I check this post once in a while to see whats NEW pertaining to Stock eliminator. Seems that every post gets dragged down the same "dirt road" of bashing the new cars.
