I have been going to the races since 1968 when my uncle Jim got out of the Air Force. Great time being involved with this. With the age of the interweb.... great sites usch as this came along and with it we were able to procure a nice Buick Apollo due to the help of many racers and their feedback. Being able to get information and tips certainly helps. going to the track and seeing racers that you have "chatted" with is fantastic!
Thanks for keeping this site running! It provides great information and entertainment. I even mis Ed O'Brien. We had some interesting conversations. As the saying goes, you have to stir the pot once in a while or the stuff on the bottom burns! Oh! Why I like class racING, not racer..... easy! Working within certain rules and restrictions. Things to the thousandth of an inch, of a cc, using those old parts, having them next day aired from Oregon to NJ... The friends you make at the track. Class racing is the best! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I like sharing ideas with others while picking up tips on better ways to implement them.

What I enjoy most about Class Racer are the new friends I've made, and the old friends I've got back in touch with. I'm one of those who raced in Stock in my younger days, then got away from it. My career path went in a different direction - now that I'm semi-retired I've come back to one of my early passions. When I first discovered Class Racer I used a 'handle', like they do on a lot of web boards. I quickly realized that I didn't get any respect hiding behind a screen name.

I can keep up with friends, make new ones, keep up on rules changes, do some bench racing, and talk about the 'good ol days'. What could be better?

I enjoy class racer because it lets me keep up with what is happening in all divisions. All the Live from posts are great as it lets us see cars and or folks we would not regularly have the opportunity too. Also afraid to say the banter between some individuals is pretty entertaining and the thoughts of the other racers is always interesting. The tech section is also fun to read and there is a ton of knowledge on this site.

I enjoy class racing for the following:
The Great People Lining up to run class at Vegas Sportsnationals with the other KA cars and realizing how lucky I was to just be there, Watching that guy from up north in the Blue Wagon treat the finish line like its a picasso, THe Great People Wondering how or why my car was'nt as fast or as attractive as others and getting the opportunity to spend some time in a shop in Modesto and watch someone work and work and work to squeeze every ounce out of his ride. Then come home and do it again and again.... Goin to a combo race in a small town and parking next to a legend in our sport and having same legend spend an hour just chatting and talking racing while your 6 year old climbs on anything or everything he can. (said kid is now 19). by the way that Camaro's gotta be on that expensive list thing... The Great People Meeting all the great people all over this great country and being fortunate enough to be able to travel to do it. Most of all its the time I get to spend with my Mother and Father and my 2 Brothers. Not proud to admit we are CLASS RACING junkies but theres worse things to be addicted to.

For me it's a combination that makes Class racing the best. On one side there is the challenge of improving your chosen combo and the hard work it takes to rise up the Q sheets. On the other side is the people you meet and become friends with from participating in both NHRA/IHRA and Stock/Super Stock combo events. On the competition side there is nothing like heads up racing, two racers battling to see which one has the baddest hot rod on that day in your class.

I am as green as it gets when it comes to Class Racing I have posted some very green questions and everyone wants to help what a great bunch of people. I was in one class race there was only 2 cars so i got a Final sticker.I lost but it was cool just being in a final. I have been trying to qualify for about 2 years . I think 2014 may be our year. Thank You again to all the fine people on Class Racer I will see you at the races.

The racers,the challenge,the fun,the aggravation and the thrill of victory are all aspects that have kept me involved. I`ve stepped away before but always seem to keep coming back.
