I see a group dedicated to keeping their sport alive, for the fun, the challenge, and the camaraderie. Sure costs go up, and things arise now and then, but as a whole, the opportunity to race against and meet the people in Class racing is as much if not more of an incentive than the challenge of making something that has no business going fast perform in a tight rules window. So many neat cars and combinations and stories, and such a great colorful history as well. I hope more people see the same thing and continue to get involved, if at the least going to the events to watch, all the way up to jumping in with both feet to build a car. On that end, I have been involved in circle track, off-road, and demolition derbies, from driver to promoter, and no one group has been more willing to help a new competitor, or even a seasoned one, get started, refine, or repair their cars. Cars and combos will come and go, times will be good and bad, but based on the merits of the folks involved here, I just don't see any other place I want to be!

We love class racing because it is the last arena where the true sportsman drag racer can still strut his or her stuff by letting it all hang out young or old new car or traditional older in a heads up or class run and there are still TRUE brand rivalries Ford vs Chebbie, or Mopar, Nash vs Buick Olds or Pontiac etc.and even the occasional Cadillac or Fart can nerd car so as not to leave out Art , Tim or the self proclaimed super Honda or Hyundai or whatever it is and the west coast gerbil hauler

I have always loved the challenge of taking something stock and tweaking the life out of it and trying to be competitive. Cars that you can see driving down the street, something real that isn't purpose built but purpose made. It's nostalgic and makes me remember things from long ago. Lots of thoughts and emotions, certainly one thing sums it up for me, Fun!
