Detroit went out of business in 1971 when the last REAL Hemi was installed in the 'Cudas and Challengers. Dont get me wrong here. Im a Chebbie guy but that was the last of any real muscle cars. The crap detroit is making from that point on is just Govt. mandated transportation for the masses. When the Govt. stepped in it killed everything any true gear head was in to. My 3 cents worth.

I sort of have to agree with Jack... How did this go from SRAC to doom and gloom? First of all, I was in Gainesville and I have to tell you that I saw the same thing Kenny did. Six, seven and eight deep at the fences and full stands. Car counts down slightly, but I think that's what we're going to see in the future. SRAC? Gotta agree that it sort of went downhill but I think part of the problem was they (NHRA) had good intentions but are now faced with survival. Bigger fish to fry kind of thing. Although I believe you still have to keep your sights set on the future and regardless of the fact we have been told the sportsman are financial losers, they are STILL the backbone of the sport and what it was built on. The SRAC has lost some of it's punch but when you want something done, "they" still return phone calls and are willing to listen. And like Kenny, I too like to drink from the glass and would rather think it's half-full, which it is. Don't put your faith in the what the media tells you. Cause there the ones who put us in the position we're in today.

Getting back to the original post,maybe the Division 3 rep would consider returning to the position.From what I understand,he resigned because he was not happy with the ruling on the cylinder head volumes for Stock Eliminator.It is obvious that this issue wasn't worth getting so upset over.Currently the NUMBER 1 qualifier at Belle Rose.Good job!
