Having been a .90 racer for more than twenty years I agree that the racing was better and less expensive before adjustable/electronic throttle stops. (We were essentially side-by-side). But nothing is constant except change and cash makes the world go round. The allowance of these devices have help support the aftermarket manufactures which produce the parts needed for these “Big Engines” and these manufactures in turn sponsor the sanction bodies so they both benefit from the current rules and are not going to change them.
While there are a couple of tactical advantages to being a faster (high MPH) car I still have friends/competitors who have some success running lower budget (lower MPH) cars I don’t agree that the current rules and technology have “Ruined it for the guy on a budget” I would agree that it has placed them at a disadvantage but they still can and do occasionally win. When I compare the cost of racing a comp eliminator, top sportsman or top dragster class, I still consider super class racing the “best bang for the buck”. Since I’m still doing it, I still think it’s still a good idea and represents good competitive racing that I can afford to do.
