The end of class racing....again... - Page 2

To be honest, I'm not sure when class racing will "end" completely. Toyota has announced that 2025 will be their last season in the Pro categories. I would be more inclined to believe that the Pro classes are going to fizzle out before the sportsman classes. We don't really need manufacturer support to continue racing our classes, but they do. I would think that in the next 10 years, if NHRA politely tells us to "piss off," I'm sure there will be a surge in association races around the country. I am also concerned about the amount of Stock/SS drivers that are, for lack of a better term, going to "age out" in the next 10-15 years, but I don't think it will cause sportsman racing to die instantly. Me personally, I just want to go racing. Whether that means running Stock, Super Stock, Pro ET, No-Box, I'm going to race as long as I can. For what it's worth, even with a Q-jet, a 3 speed, and running C11, the few times I've 1/8 mile raced the nova, it usually repeats within .01 all day.

That really doesn't matter, if he still shows up here regurgitating the same Bullshyt.

Says mr. desk top dyno, a nobody, a computer programmer, an old man who never raced and that no one here with a clue gives him, nor his malarkey the time of day and no surprise once again, he only replies to this thread to comment about me.

Pathetic fool who won’t be around in 2040!

Ed,
If this is so why do you continue to post on Stock and Super Stock page?

Because I can!

Where I chose to spend my $ has nothing to do with my opinion as to when class racing as we know it today will end.

There?s nothing like putting your son in a fast car and watching him win. I?ve done it and I wouldn?t trade it for nothing.
However ,building a stocker has its rewards also. I love to do fabrication, suspension , motors and tuning. Stock is just plain cool!
Ed, I think you would have a blast in stock and it would serve the purpose in Brackets too. Or Superstock? you are at most events there running SC anyway?
