Sorry, but I feel you are wrong on this. Having the resources to run makes life easier, but it still takes a thought and effort to go fast.


I think that a lot of guys perspective is stuck in the past. The cost to run a competitive Class car hasn't changed particularly when compared to income statistics. A new Camaro cost around $3,000.00 in the sixties. They are now $30,000.00 plus. Paying $3,000.00 for a new car and then spending the money to be a "player" back then was big money. Maybe some people have just lost the enthusiasm that is part of youth?

Really? I've seen an awful lot of rich strokes who know little or nothing about cars, who decide they're tired of golf or tennis, and want to be a super star in drag racing. These guy just keep writing checks until they have the prettiest, fastest car in whatever class they choose. And the hard workers, who are spending money they actually WORKED to earn, standby helplessly, while the lawyer, banker, insurance executive, real estate mogul, corporate executive, trust fund recipient, etc. runs them over. Want an example? SS/AH.
