Index Change

I had a chance to attend the divisional in Las Vegas from Nov 4th to the eighth. As an outside observer I noticed that many of the drivers when I last ran my car seventeen years ago were still doing it but not a whole lot of young S/SS racers. This was from a field of 127 stockers & 120 super stockers.
Hard to believe many of these same veterans will still be class racing even ten years from now.
With NHRA now making it more difficult for the newcomer to compete in these ranks look for a slow but increasingly steady decline of class racing.

With this latest move most likely we will soon see the "descendants" of the modified eliminator categories followed by S/SS once again parading down that return road for the last time.

Oh well, something else to watch on You Tube from the Old Folks Home.
