I don't want to see a shoebox chevy run. Bring on the big blocks!

I'm going to reply to this with the utmost respect for the car owners and drivers on this site but you all talk about the younger generation so I figured I'd chime in. I'm a 32 yr old that runs a 68 Camaro in SS/JA and finishing a 69 camaro to run in AA/SA (I own both cars 100%). My father, brother and I have slaved hours to get the cars to where they are and yes we gather around the TV on occasion to watch street outlaws and hell even Gas Monkey, because after all - aren't we all car guys? Yes the number of 30 somethings in S/SS are not high but what are the elder guys doing to bring the younger crowd in? I read the negative posts about the crowmod, why?? Did he take someones deserved spot ? When the top dawgs of stock and super stock give it up in 5-10 yrs, what's next? Who is coming up behind them? Does NHRA see that? Running a class car of any merit takes a tremendous amount of money now a days due to so many rule changes that have been petitioned through the years by the very drivers and owners that are now saying the younger generation can't afford to run in class or simply choose to throw a bracket car together and run big money bracket races , to actually make a profit on running a drag car. like I said, I respect every owner / driver that straps themselves into a class car and this post was simply to chime in from "the younger generation"
