End of Stock and SuperStock Racing??

[Rose Racing]

I am a young S or S/S enthusiast and love class racing and I am in the early 20-30 year old demographic and currently bracket race at Norwalk and I hope in the next 10 or soo maybe more years I will build my own class car....... I know most of the younger generation currently racing at Norwalk and DWAY 42 in West Salem as I have raced every week in and out for 10 years since Jr Dragsters and every one of them thoroughly enjoys bracket racing and almost every one of them wants a 7 second dragster and every one of thems goal is to run in the .90 classes either Super Comp or Super Gas and they all love delay box racing with throttle stops and the whole every young kid wants to run heads up 10.5 or radial classes are highly exagerated. I refuse to run a delay box as I would rather leave off the bottom bulb and drive the car like past racers have. My father has never raced before and I started driving a Jr Dragster that he bought for me(including trailer) and he has always supported me and we bought a Bracket tube chassied Pinto that I have raced for the past 3 or 4 years(sooo please not all kids in Drag Racing are second generation racers) and he is also a big fan of Super Stock and thats our ultimate goal! Heres an ideer and dont slaughter me for it but How about a older car with a new engine GT class? Its all the rage in car building to put a new LS GM engine in an old Camaro or a Mod Motor in a old fastback Mustang sooo why not in Stock or Super Stock? Most kids I went to school with somewhat know new cars but love muscle cars and I always got alot of praise driving my 78 Dodge to school and I think it would be very popular just thinking out loud.....

There is nothing wrong tith the index classes they are part of drag racing and as A a Racer on any level I would never discourage any young drive to make it to where they want to be. everyone must know that our sport has two people drivers and passangers. now if your not a 2nd or 3rd gen racer than you have the abillity to set a path for your legacy and if you land in the .90 classes than make sure that if there comes a day that s/c comes under fire than they have the passion to fight for it..........

I agree 100% and I was just making a point that heads up racing is certainly not where the younger generation is going and actually I think its rather kool that they can reach theyre goal in Drag Racing sooo much faster than I can and its a lot better than some older gents I know that. Theyre goal is to run Top Sportsman or a faster class and spend their whole life and bank account credit card etc trying to race a class soooo expensive and out of reach they run themselves broke and out of racing but I understand TS and TD are waaay kool too

Stay at it, and some day you will have a class car.
Heck, I got hooked on Stock Eliminator when I was 21.....took me 30 years before I entered my first Stock race.
A little late to the party. LOL
But, I'm in now.


I've often wondered how it would be to use any year car that is listed in the classification guide and be able to use any year engine that is also in the guide. (within corporate boundaries of course)
Now that would be cool...however tech would have to have 2 separate tech sheets.

Nothing wrong with that idea at all. If I don't get to build my own car initially, we will convert our 1972 Duster to a GT class car as we have nothing but BBM stuff in the garage. Any low block combo will be fair game when we make that step. Just have some other stuff to take car of before getting to that point. We younger generation have to be able to replace those that retire or quit so its good there are some of us that have aspirations to race in the Stock, Super Stock, and Comp.
