Re: End of Stock and SuperStock Racing??
 

The reason there are only 16 pro stockers entered, are there are only 16 people wealthy enough, and love it enough to race it. I want to race pro stock, as does every racer I personally know. The reason the crowd leaves, and few stay in the stands, are that the few who stay in the stands, are the ones who understand drag racing. The masses are just there for the noise, because that's all they can relate to. Case in point, no one grew up understanding it. What was there, over 80 mod cars that protested the demise of mod racing at Indy in 82? It wasn't stopped because of lack of participation, but the ease of maintaining such a class. But, no one argues that it was the grassroots of drag racing. Now, I think they know it was a huge mistake, and led to the complete demise of crowd appeal in sportsmen racing.

I have read all 142 posts, some very interesting thought processes going on and a lot of passion on the topic. I am a complicated guy but sometimes you just need to keep it simple or you could have health problems. The serenity prayer may help....

When and if it ever ends I will be racing stock until that day. Just saying, lol

I agree and I wish IHRA would have kept theyre version of Modified Production also and Modified was an amazing class in both HRAs!

it is not just that it is heads up, it has to be exciting, meaning race the prostocks without wheelie bars and /or a tire size limitation. Puts the driver back in control. The casual fan wants to be entertained, and after watching fuel cars run, pro stocks seem slow.
