It seems that if you like RED cars and someone on here likes BLUE cars everything you say or do is all wrong an an offense to someone else who likes another "color" of race car. I NEVER said anyone was going to be left out or made non competetive. Im always "Fishing" for ideas and response but everyone who reads this stuff and loves stock and S/S racing needs to think about what can you (we) do to attract spectators and a fan base. The way it is now just is NOT working and as Dick says and its been "DUMBED DOWN" for years and the only people who watch our kind of racing are either family, friends, or a very small percentage who understand the stock and S/S concept. . Anything new cannot be exactly like NHRA or IHRA has now. With all of the tech issues (IF the HRA's continue inspecting cars) and (what happened to the "lets weigh pistons and rods?) the legal class cars have become a liability and a pain in the butt. Again....READ what Chuck Norton wrote about class racing and think about it. My 3 cents worth.

Terry I think your ideas were a lot more than red cars vs. blue cars. It seems to me you and Dick Butler have dreamed up this 10 class senario (or something very similar).
You should take a lesson from top stock. It has not taken off the way you wanted it to. I think you thought it would obsolete stock as it is now.
To have a lot of classes gives "EVERYONE" a chance to compete not just those with deep pockets.
Just listen to all the complaining on here about the Mustangs and Challengers. Why don't everybody go and buy one? Everyone agrees they are going to be impossible to beat in their class.
