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.

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.

How about a New Style Jr. Stock ? EXAMPLE: Let's say a Cobalt with a full cage, 9x30 (maximum) tire, Ladder bars, Engine Compartment and Front Suspension Rules same as Super Stock. Drivetrain Example: Stock Legal 1969 300hp. 350 engine, a Turbo 350 and a 12 Bolt. Obviously a Minimum Weight and Maximum Displacement would have to be determined. 4 Barrel Combinations only.
First of all you have a "Low Priced" Later Model Affordable Body, Front Half Rules already established, Rear Suspension available in Kit form. Steel Tubs. The remainder of the Construction would be as "General" in the Rule Book. The Build could be done at home in the Garage, just like "Old Times". This is an example for Chevrolet. Ford and Chrysler would have their own picks. A Class like this would be called JR. Super Stock or Sr. Stock. Would something like this be encouraging? Just a thought.
