Stock is wilder than S/S was just 10 years ago and getting worse. You cannot go to a local drag strip and race stock, S/S or anything close unless the is a local circuit race anymore. Other than circuits, points races, opens, national events where can you go ? Racing every weekend and staying close to home was one of the attractions. A decent purse vs expense was part of it. The car culture socity is almost non existant. Todays youth is into s**t boxes with a fart can mufflers. The Jr. stocks of yesterday and the rivalry between brands, the left and right coast, "Grumps Group" and the "Valley Boys" is old history. As much as I loved that era and Jr. stockers Im afraid its gone for good. Things change and we cant go back. If im wromg I would start on mine today.

hey stranger , you coming to PRI next week ?
