You want to really do something to toot your class racer horn go out by a newer 17+ camaro challenger mustang of your choice DRIVE it to 5 divisionals and 3 nationals AND BE COMPETITIVE. I know your going to say BuT ThAtS nOt a DiMe RoCkEt, well it's relatable and most people in America can get a car loan.

Well James, I suggested that only one person try a 307 or a 301. I certainly wouldn't suggest that a young person try it.
I'm gonna guess that a young person who wants to be involved in any kind of racing would jump at the chance to race anything that someone would put that young person in or that they could afford. If that young person wants to be "fussy" then they must not want to race that badly.
I don't need to "toot my class racer horn". I'm OK with the things that I've accomplished. At this point in my life, I'm good with trying to get others involved. If I wanted a new car, I'd have one. The "Dime Rocket" thing is just something I do to try and get people and young people involved who don't want or can't afford a car loan.

How many young racers want to pay for an over priced membership, class number and entry fees. If they get passed that. They can afford a newer car too.there are no new less expensive combos in the books though..

Paul, these are some of the reasons why we'll soon be extinct. I think I'll keep trying to get new people involved though.

This is a good point, that I have tried to make in the past.

If a new racer can afford all this, plus $15 -$20 fuel, plus traveling 300-500 miles to Divisionals out here, then they can probably afford something that gives them a boot in the ***** and does a big wheelie.

Someone suggested Junior Stock be re-designated and it seems like a good idea to me.

You are over 40 years LATE. I raced a 72 Ventura 307 2 barrel in 1982. I got down to 9.22 (1/8 mile), through the mufflers, on street tires, before the car was wrecked on the way home from Music City Raceway. Wasn't fast enough to play in the Combo races at The Hill.




If I want to race a slow vehicle, I'll put the Silverado in tow mode.
