How competitive are you?

Muarice,
First of all it's Big bucks not Bug bucks , I know you knew that ??? All I was trying to say, is why does it have to be about New cars & Money?
Stock class, is suppose to be an entry level into Racing, let's leave it at that ... If you want to race with no-rules , you can go bracket racing and
pick how fast you want to run ? I think heads-up are fine when they happen , but making everything heads-up will hurt racing ... I don't think anyone's wants that to happen, if you do run 10.90,9.90 8.90 classes...

I think it's fine to have the heads-up as part of an event, but how many times can you try this before you see it's not for most racers? Ask the racers in Div 2 , they had an avg. of 8-10 cars .. That was with no-rules just 12.0, 11,0 10.0 dials, any engine, etc . Don't you think we have enough side- show things going at races today ???
The little guy is who keeps racing alive for all of us to use, look at Top Stock ? Great idea, but rules, $$$$, and lack of support ? The little guy is someone who really loves Racing , but doesn't have alot money to invest their operation .. (Racecar,tow-rig,parts, travel, etc ) I am only speaking about Class- Racers here, not everyone else in Racing ... They have paid their dues over the years, let's not forget them ....

Dick, I do agree that racing is at a crossroads and something needs to change ? As I have said many times before, you need to support Class-racing on a local level ? It's the Best game around, Allstar Racing, East Coast Racing, CCRA ,Jim Wahl group & all the others across the USA .
More support to your Local track's, so they can stay afloat (Car Counts ).
We need to support the people who support Us & Class Racing... Racing is also being Hurt by tough economy & gas prices ... Enough said ...

" Happy New Year " everyone ....
