Dwight that is probably the best post with analogies to back it up that I have read! Mike Carr, you would have enjoyed the era that you are talking about. Tear down @ 3:00 in the morning, in the rain, under a tarp with headlights and droplights while the tech guys and div director slept in a car. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Hard as hell but the accomplishment, and satisfaction was/is unequaled. Remember the old saying: What dosen't kill you will only make you stronger? If you weren't tearing down alot you knew you needed to work some more. At least you knew what your goal was and how to achieve it.

And that last part about the USCN is very true. USCN: It wasn't perfect. Hot as hell. But it was one good time! With a hooking track. All those that helped to put this on were racers and it was a racer's race. Not this watered down crap that we have shoved down our throat with a new change or rule of the week.

Mike if NHRA did away with wagons I would just build something different. Stock and Superstock cars are best of the best. These classes are not cheep to run and If money is the issue don't race a class car. Stock and Superstock are not for everyone and that is what makes it not a bracket race.
