I bet almost everyone watches!

This is just for show, nothing I would give 2 sh-ts about. Gary

Gary,
It's hard for the new car guys to believe that there are people who are not as enamored with these cars as they are. I don't know if or when the new cars will run but I can tell you I'll be in the pits thrashing to qualify. Are you and or Barry going this year?

First my wife paula and I will be running our other camaros in stock the old fashioned way and having a blast.Next however when we ran Top Stock the stands were packed.Packed ------did you hear that packed!And we had a ball.You may not think there will be fan interest but i can't tell you the number of calls and E mails I have received asking if I got my car yet.
I think the big 3 were spot on developing these cars.I was just a little shaver when the muscle cars first appeared but I can tell you the warmth from the fire they created lasted for years and indeed judging from the number of those cars still in demand and racing I would say that fire has not gone out yet.But its time for a jump start and this factory deal is just that jump start.Just the excitement that has been generated from those of us who either have the Fords or Mopars or are waiting for the COPO was a charge this year already.
As for you fellas who are not part of this and don't care to be don't knock it.Its racing so its all good.If you want to have a beer or a hot dog while we are racing I suspect that there will not be any long lines to slow you down since the fans will be in their seats watching the factory showdown.
