They should give a low rate discounted price for admission and make money at the concession stands. What car show is better than a Points meet?? Fast cars painted like candy wrappers. Even though I believe the new cars of today have a favorable factors, they are essential for the growth of stock and superstock. Years ago, when I discovered class racing, I liked the fact that stockers and superstockers look like real everyday vehicles that the fans drove everyday. Thats cool, and look how fast they can go!! Thats what got me interested in Drag Racing. Fuel cars are cool, noisy and fast, but I dont see them in my local dealer. Even Pro stock looked like normal cars back then.....

Good point...today we have NASCAR Pro Stock..Bodies..or Funny Cars with a NA engine.
IF it were not a car name printed on the body ..nobody would know the difference.
They are Hot Dog Blobs with paint !

FWIW the new breed of cars represent more of yesterdays Pro Stock ...
Again starting in Stock and SS !!
