The times are changing, the moral of the story is ( Get out and race if you want to ) enjoy it, because nothing is forever. People are still class racing. Nobody knows when the end will happen. Enjoy the ride, and dont worry about when the end is coming. Chances are we cannot do anything about it.

Xtech Man: When it ends nobody is going to care wether you predict it or not. You have been out of our ranks for years. Im not really sure your finger is on the pulse of anything current anyway. At least not keyboard racing.

Todd it dosent matter to me what you think. You dont like me and I sure dont like you even though I dont know you. Dosent matter to me anyway one way or another as you dont have a clue but I really hope I am wrong about stock and S/S racing for most of the people I have met and know. I lived and raced thru the best years of stock AND S/S racing and spent 23 years (I must have been crazy) of tech. for NHRA and IHRA. Its a different game now than then but some of you had better start listening to guys like Chuck Norton as he is one of the good guys. You dont have to listen to me and I dont want you to. Your right.....I havent raced in several years and I dont want to but I still love the class cars and keep up and stay in touch with some hard racers of my age. Some have left us way to soon. The entry costs are up...the purse's are way down. Contengicies are almost non existand if they pay at all. You are filler for the fuel queer's.Thats all. The new cars are beating your brains out in heads up runs. The AHFS is a joke. Very few good knowledgeable tech men are left today. Thank goodness for Dave Ley's, Travis Miller's and a few others. The racing associations treat you guys like crap and it wasnt like that back in the 70's. You must like it with your parking in the mud holes or a mile or two from the starting line and trying to hook your car on snot. Try to make it better and stick together as a team. Other wise you will have some very nice bracket cars at some point in the future. Dont you think that NHRA is getting tired of hearing every one pissing and moaning? Enough.....Im done and have to get back to waxing the ole hot rod.
