You spend much time at women's bingo games Chuck? Getting the new cars out of the regular classes was a good start but that was only a partial fix. nhra still has some work to do to return Stock as it was intended. We'll leave growing the sport to the guys who demand privileged status. It's always the same guys who try to defend the corrupt system that is currently in place. I don't care what motivates you guys but everyone else, except you, knows this is bad for the sport.

I'm with you Charley .........And without these new cars Stock / SuperStock would get hardly any notice at all - like it or not they are moving our eliminators forward ! ! !

"..hardly any notice at all." Yeah they are packing the stands alright. Not! Not one thing has improved for Stock Eliminator since these new cars arrived. No better payouts. Nothing. But then again you new car guys get some fancy parking spots. I forgot about that.
You new car guys should have enough common sense to know that nhra wants to make these cars the new Pro Stock and that it is playing you guys for chumps. You should demand your own eliminator and some serious dough. Instead of the peanuts laying on the ground after a Stock Eliminator final. Geez. I'm not a mega player like some of the new car owners but they should have enough sense to know what is going on here.

Never been to a woman's bingo game but my grandma says there cut throat.
Bruce I think we all know who the chumps are. new car or old this whole game is for chumps with deep and shallow pockets. Just run your car and quit crying. If you don't like it just buy a boat and sail away. I have never really raced for big money that's why I like stock and superstock

Charley I don't see you as a player in the FS classes. The day I settle for less than a fair shot at the sheet will be the day I quit. And as far as taking your advice on anything it will be a very cold day in he**. I love the way you guys sit on top of this corrupt process and tell us to shut up and just take the crap you put out. That ain't gonna happen either. The FS cars are on their way to their own eliminator. Count on it.

Still nobody in the stands watching us at National events. Ditto the new car "shoot outs", Nobody in the stands watching those either. Don't make enough noise, don't run 300 MPH, so nobody cares. We are just filler.

Ed, your memory at Nationals might be a little off or you just assumed no one watches..... The two photos below are from the Factory Showdown at Indy last year. Looks like a good amount a fans for just being filler. Last edited by Ken Miele; 03-21-2015 at 08:15 PM. |

Ken, the round I went up to watch didn't have near that many up there.
When I'm racing, I never look.

Ed, your probably right in the first round or in qualifying, but as it got close to the finals it was nice to see people in the stands.
