They, with few exceptions, have no interest in doing "more with less". They would rather have 600WHP and still run 15's because a) they can't stage a car, much less make a pass, b)it wouldn't hook if they could, and they don't understand why, and c) it would probably throw CV axles like Tebow throws touchdowns. I'd bet a stack that even if the cars were in the guide, you wouldn't see a significant increase in car count due to them. Hell if my memory serves there were more B/SA cars at Indy than there where cars total at most of those import races (not counting the bracket cars).

X2 Let them race with their own kind ! The "Jap Junk" with fart can mufflers is one reason our economy is in such bad shape to begin with. BUY and RACE AMERICAN even if a lot is assembled in Mexico these days. OK....."Burn" me up Scotty !

You really think that's why the economy is in such bad shape? Because some kids bought a $500 Civic and bolted some autozone parts on it.....haha.

****, my import, which I race, was bought used from an american. I paid state sales tax on it, bought nothing but domestic parts to make it fast from US companies, paid a fabricator in the US to build it, how is that hurting the economy???? Take a look at GM and Chrysler now, they are more import than imports have ever been. That is one reason the economy (automotive wise) has started to suffer. Obviously there are many other reasons. But that's another debate.

I'm definitely not sticking up for the kids driving around in the fart can POSs, nor am I defending the disrespectful kids of this generation, I just want to let you know that just because you decided to build a Honda to race, it doesn't lump you into that stereotype.

It honestly gets pretty old hearing all this talk. I mean when I drove Merryfields 10 second stocker (drag pak) at US Nationals, everyone was wanting to talk to me, ask questions, etc. But when they asked about what I drove (owned), and I told them it was a 9 second street car (Honda), and that I'm turning it into a SS car which should be deep into the 8's, they either just ignored me, like I was lying to them, or showed no interest whatsoever. I see both sides to this, but people need to be a bit more open minded.
