I've read concerns about the ability to compete with that and honest debates about the future of Stock class racing due to issues like this and many more. If you can't see things are changing, your not paying attention. The expense is an honest issue. But I agree that one must stay within their financial means when considering racing. It's a hobby and all for fun, right? I read the concerns of others and don't necessarily see them only as bitches and complaints but rather searching for better ways of doing things. And it seems a bit condescending to call slower class cars "oddball" and if you have a faster car you are "beating your chest and claim to be king". I really think your interpretation of some things written on this forum may not be what was meant.

If I were to race again, I'd research the potentially most consistent, cheapest lower class car I could find. (Yeah, I'd be for Trustart!) I love fast, high horsepower cars. But one of the good things about Stock, it's for all budgets.
