Vegas National reflection

[Run to Rund]

Remember the "new" stock classes in 1973 and how NHRA finally allowed 9x30 slicks for 1975? The cars actually resembled stock. Super stock was just that, and pro stock still looked something like a more radically modified car but still something like what Bubba had at home. Now stock is like the old super stock, pro stock is not loud and wild enough in its antics to justify it being so far from what Bubba has, so he goes for a snack. Whaddaya think? Am I being too hard on the trends as I see them?

re Pro Stock,
It is a shame that the costs and reality of ever being able to run one of those cars is all but gone. If you are like me you enjoy watching something that has fierce competition, great rivals, AND brand identification. I was thrilled when I saw the Sox and Martin tribute car, really miss Bob Glidden (anybody really) in a Ford. The cars too have become generic with the front overhang rule, and maybe I am just old but the graphics, Well I liked a car that resembled something you could buy. I will always run to the fence for Pro Stock but I can understand why the have waned in popularity.

20 years ago Stock was a little boring to watch,I absolutley loved SS back then..the GT cars were not so many so it looked like mainly as stock do today..SS today is becoming something different with all the modified cars taking over,a mini "bracket" Pro Stock class.Back then Pro stock was something to watch too.. with big Thunderbirds,Olds Firenzas and other "strange cars" in the mix...the cars were actually very different from each other back then,no room for that today...+ all these "paint jobs" or wraps that makes any chance to see any difference impossible...+ back then the sponsors also were more like... attached to a driver/Caracter(and they had more of it)..today it's the other way...drivers attached to Sponsors(yeah..all classes ofcourse) ...with all its-thanks this and thanks that....sooo booooooooooring!
