Dick...I care about Stock and Super Stock. The words Inexpensive" and "simple" are not relative to these classes. I can't help but think the previously mentioned vehicles that have a reputation for being passed in the slow lane on the highway, on the way to an event can somehow find a spot in our staging lanes. Stock and Super Stock represent American Muscle and should remain that way! Some of the oldest Super Stock racers run cars in the 8's at 150+ and 9 second Stockers also run by the senior racers and they are enjoying it. I don't think a "Neon or Aveo Shootout" would be worth standing up in an outhouse to watch!!! Entry level racing is called Bracket racing. If you want to race Stock and Super Stock it simply costs money if you care. We need to lose these "under a grand" and "dime rocket" thoughts it is belittling the classes and the sanctioning body and fans already don't make room for us. Stock and Super Stock pits represent innovation, intelligence, experience, financial commitment , respect and professionalism. So please think about something more sensible. MB (just my opinion)
