It's common sense that faster/higher classed cars cost more money to build and science out. That's not the question. There's certainly a limited number of people that can afford to run the big-buck cars. That's not what the "class warfare" (pun intended) we're seeing today is all about. It's not whether or not the masses could afford a ZL1 Corvette, it's about "Did the ZL1 Corvette start out in H/SA?"

Michael, that's another question for another thread. I am Just pointing out money in racing go hand and hand. Speed coast money, the 60's are no different then today, except that there are more people with more money to spend.

Jack made three points, and this is just my perspective on how I see this sport.

Looking at Charlotte there isn't much Nostagia left in Super Stock:

Breakdown of the field by year:
1960's = 6
1970's = 1
1980's = 8
1990's = 18
2000's = 12
2010's = 3


May again support that cars too old or too new cost too much for most people.
