I am going to get blasted for this one..... Claude- when is the last time someone told you they went to a National event to watch stock that wasn't already affiliated with someone racing? I am a Super Class racer, and I do enjoy watching my friends in Stock and Super Stock. But lets get it straight, the fans do not come to watch us ( us being any of the sportsman ranks ) at a National event. I have seen a lot of discussions on this on all of the websites lately. Funny thing, most of the complainers are either not Super Class competitors or they are plain just not that great of racer. If your thing is Stock, race stock, and complain about what you don't like there. If your thing is Comp, Alcohol, bikes, TD, TS, what ever it is.... stick to complaining about your class...

I don't know Steve Cohen personally, but have seen his accomplishments, hell of a racer.. but do you think he would go back to the bolt? I used the bolt my first couple of years and did well, but I am not going back to it..

One last thing and I am done.... I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD GO BACK TO WATCHING TV ON A 17" SCREEN WITH ANTENNAS AND THROW OUT NEW TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS HOW THEY WORK AND NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD THEM. I FOR ONE AM ON MY WAY TO THE DUMP WITH MY DIGITAL TV.... Kidding of course...

I just can't leave it alone.... I tried to stop at one last thing but I can't...

If you complainers get this hing pushed through, (which you won't) What do we do with the 3000-4000 Throttle stops and timers? 1,500,000.00 to 2,000,000.00 in electronics in the recylce bin? Then what will you complain about next? Our shifters? Our delay boxes?

Laughing to hard to continue...

My 2 cents...
