If a sport with 10 classes with excitement and color and appeal could be created for the Spectator appeal it can draw people to create a car to compete. If they dont care to adapt to the racing they can stay with the HRAs and complain. The HRAs listened too much and dumbed down their segment of racing to where it is today.. Bracket racing class cars with MASSIVE expensive modifications in front of empty grand stands....
Come on Fords and Dodges.....

Do not forget one important thing. If this becomes a reality it is not my ideas or my association. Its YOURS....the legal class sportsman racers. I was only "Thinking outloud" and all of a sudden I recieve all of these attacks and I expressed MY opinions in return. It seems that if you like RED cars and someone on here likes BLUE cars everything you say or do is all wrong an an offense to someone else who likes another "color" of race car. I NEVER said anyone was going to be left out or made non competetive. Im always "Fishing" for ideas and response but everyone who reads this stuff and loves stock and S/S racing needs to think about what can you (we) do to attract spectators and a fan base. The way it is now just is NOT working and as Dick says and its been "DUMBED DOWN" for years and the only people who watch our kind of racing are either family, friends, or a very small percentage who understand the stock and S/S concept. . Anything new cannot be exactly like NHRA or IHRA has now. With all of the tech issues (IF the HRA's continue inspecting cars) and (what happened to the "lets weigh pistons and rods?) the legal class cars have become a liability and a pain in the butt. Again....READ what Chuck Norton wrote about class racing and think about it. My 3 cents worth.
