Lightbulb Re: End of Stock and SuperStock Racing??

As the son of the legend Jimmy Waibel who raced from the days of flag starts in 1958 at Lake Wales, Fl through the glory days of jr.Stock, a major player in the STK factory wars of the 60's and 70's to the bracket format of today, I have become a DIE-hard 2nd gen racer driving his last car he built and my oldest son Jacob turns 15 in just a few weeks and he already moves "by driving" the car around the shop and even load it in the box. He has plans of moving up to Top Fuel and he will. He learned the track from his jr. Dragster, he will tell you he will learn to drive in the K&N camaro and then after a season or two he wants to go a big rail car, than to the world of Top fuel and he will tell you its because each step is important to be a champion. Now the only reason Iam not wining in the K&N camaro YET.... I had to pay my dues in the racing world I feel they are paid and there is a wally coming back to Waibel Comptition in STOCK thats what built NHRA thats what started it all "....my cars faster than yours......." so 2nd and 3rd gen drivers stay true to your roots for things we take for granted I.E. order any part and race they had to build ans stock/super stock Racing will only die if our generation allows it.
