Default Re: Junior Stock vs IHRA Pure Stock

Too many people these days are glory seekers, and they are not about to let a little thing like money stop them. If they have to cash in their 401Ks or get a 2nd mortgage for a few extra h.p. so they can go set a national record or win the "big one", they will. The hell with the future they think. Sad way of thinking.

Man, Alan, that's cold! LOL
Stock & Super Stock has been populated by guys that live to make their cars faster since I started racing in 1961. Then bracket racing came along, that is where most of the guys that couldn't keep up moved. Most of the faster guys have the money to do it, and most run the higher classes. Many are capable of doing their own engines, etc. Should not be too much of a problem in the lower classes, I wouldn't think.

I sure wouldn't think anybody would take a second mortgage on their home to race. LOL

We do have the problem of check book racers buying the new bogus cars with the funny HP ratings, but probably not in R/SA.
