I'm really glad to see the response my tread has brought out. John I've seen your son's car at Indy last year and you and your family are what this sport is all about, Hawk I love that great article many moons ago about you and your Buick in Bracket USA, also have followed many great racers such as Don(the worm) Elgin and his very consistent Pontiac. I've have raced for many years and I have always been a supporter of slower race cars in stock and just wanted to see why so many are pulling away from the slower class. Don't get me wrong I love watching the new breed of quality fast new style retro Mustangs, Challengers and maybe Camaros when they do come out, they bring excitement to our sport but we can't afford to lose the thinking men(Billy Nees,Mark Yaccavone and so many out there that I might forget to mention), low dollar solution to the races. Lesson no 1, keep records,2) check weather station 3)keep equipement in tip top shape 4)let them chase you and Ed we won't bring the subject of worse red light.lol I could name a bunch of racers who have made quite a name for themselves running slower cars in brackets such as the late Steve Taylor and his wife Brenda runninng stock Cavaliers against all type of race cars and winning, Dan Fletcher(running anything with an engine) Bob Mullaney with his $1 dollar car Nova, Jody and Toby Lang from Washington State, Bret " Mr Dirt" racing various rental cars, Chuck Gillian in California, and many more who have won with slower cars, it's possible!Claude p.s. keep them coming. this is very helpfull when I'm knee deep in grease working at night on My Camaro K or L/SA now.lol
