malcontents and kill off S/SS.

Super stock will never be a REAL race until someone figures out how to race each other without the shoepolish. Until then it remains as is, a glorified bracket race.

Then go race Comp,Alcohol,Pro Stock etc.I'll buy any bottles of shoe polish you care to part with,that's if you have a car to race.
I think I know what's happening.All these people wanting all the changes are suffering from Dick Butler Syndrome.

Actually we are suffering from the days when it was real racing and not what it has become today.

Unfortunately, I would bet that if class racing would have been heads-up or run flat out against respective indexes, it would have lost many racers and disappeared many years ago. It's simply a matter of economics.

It's already difficult for the average person to run the circuit competitively, if at all. It costs too much!
Fortunately, one can still be competitive using their skills rather than lots of money. If one has more money than driving ability, THEY should go find a heads-up class instead of trying to ruin it for the majority. This is Sportsman racing, not Pro racing.

Besides, the diversity of cars, from the common Camaros, Dusters, Mustangs and FI vehicles, to the uncommon, including Corvairs, Gremlins, pick-ups, etc. make it all interesting for more people.

...and we still have class eliminations for the heads-up die-hards!
