How are the new cars remaining in Stock classes going to affect your racing this year - Page 2

The new cars will not influence my plans. I will be tickled to be racing alongside them once again in my old station wagon. I just want to be racing again! My car is a '64 Plymouth with a 425 hp engine and a 3995# minimum weight that can run A-B-C/SA. I run C because I could never get it quite light enough for B. I actually went a second under the old index at Mission a couple of years ago but still in either class, the '70-'71 Challengers will kick my butt as surely the DPs. Likewise, I've looked at the tail lights of a couple of big block Mustangs that were almost as old as me. Need I even say that they're all driven be people that I like? Hopeless match ups won't deter me from enjoying myself.

That being said, I would like to see the new cars in a situation where they didn't have to hold anything back. I personally lean towards finding a way to give them their own class at least on a temporary basis. They are exciting cars that should bring attention new blood to our sport. We should welcome them with arms open wide.

Happy Holidays!
