With all the rush to electrification (with GM seemingly leading the way) one has to wonder when they'll stop pushing out COPO's, Drag Pak, etc. It just seems to be contrary to how the Big 3 (i.e. big Labor) are courting the current administration at every turn. Think EV's are a great alternative for many but the infrastructure is FAR from supporting mass adoption and thereby eliminating ICE vehicles. Agriculture, transportation and RV industries are no closer to any kind of penetration by EV designs so things will continue on for quite some time until all of us "old school' folks pass the mantle to generations that will never embrace ICE racing formats like we have. The hordes of Jr. Dragsters may delay the inevitable but it will not stop it, IMO it's just the natural progression of things. The steady loss of tracks is just another sign that it will become increasingly difficult for the average person to fund a racing program. I really enjoyed the Class Racing Today interview of Cal Method, would recommend it to anyone. What he and Mary Ann were able to accomplish based on pure passion for the sport and the comradery with so many like spirits speaks to a by gone time that many of us can reminisce about and try to recapture in some form but the younger generations simply don't have that fixated in their brains as we do. BTW, I was at Indy 1967,1968,1969 and I recall the hordes of sedan deliveries Cal talked about along with Wild Willy having one hand on the wing, Dyno Don blipping his A/FX behind the line, etc etc...it was all pretty dang special.

In the meantime, as Larry said, I only have one question "which lane do you want?"
