Default Re: 2011 stocker season

Hi Ed, I have spent the last 2 years putting together a 1970 Nova for stock eliminator. I joined this post a few months ago to get a feel of what goes on in the class and what the future holds for class racing. The car is completely ready minus engine. The whole project is on hold because of what happened with fake stockers brought to you by Chrysler and Ford. Trust me ,it is not for lack of money because I have money by not throwing it down black holes. I have bracket raced cars in the 70's and walked away when electronics entered the picture. I also have a talent in bowling-----made some good money bowling amateur tournaments from New York to Vegas. Oh, BTW , I drove a F/G Corvette for almost a season before NHRA took all that away. My first love is still cars , unfortunately I see stock class racing as a eliminator in big trouble and all you people do is look down at bracket racers. Well, unless you people make a stand and be heard, the bracket racers will still be racing but stock class racers will restoring their cars for car shows.
Hey, I may not be completely right but this is what I see from being on the outside for awhile. Outside looking in ! Sometimes you have to step out of the box to see what is really going on inside. I want stock racing to continue and I would support a united front anyway I can. This is just my opinion as I can choose to sell my car or go bracket racing but I know of the time and investment some of you already have in your cars. There are decisions to be made. So , yes Ed I have stake in the future of class racing or I can walk away .----------------John
