I remember as a kid going to Atco on Saturday night and I'd go over to look at the car and the driver would be like "Hey you want to get in there and they would start it up....really got the blood flowing in my young heart" now we are too worried about someone coming over and looking at the car and scratching the paint on the car rather then answering questions that people would have about the car and where it came from. I'd be more then welcoming to introduce anyone to my car and explain what goes into the whole t-stop and why it does what it does.
Let's face it,you're entheusisitic about our cars because your family is is a racee family.The average fan is just that,a fan,with no direct drag racing ties.There's wayyy
to much competition today for the consumers money than in the "good old days".
We are dinosaurs in the final phase of our existance.
