In 2009 we attended several Div. 7 and Div 6 races where there was only around 20 or less in both stock and superstock including our 2 or 3 cars! In Medford I believe out of around 20 stocker there were 4 or 5 less than or around .3 under! The first three years my kids and I raced , I was never .3 under or more. Neither of my kids cars were ever either! Not everybody comes from a rich family or has a rich experienced racer for a dad. Some people pick a car to race because that is what they own and can afford not because of where it hits on HP factor. There are plenty of classes for the rich and elite..... why make stock/superstock fall in that group! If the indexs were much faster we would of never have persisted long enough to stay in stock!!
If attendance falls even another 20 or 25%... I don't think there will be stock or superstock in another 4 or 5 years! Then what is everybody going to do with their $20,000 Engines/$7,000 Transmissions... put them in Sportsman Bracket Cars?
