Shocked!!!!

Dwight Southerland · 04-27-2007, 08:52 AM

I just looked at the qualifying sheet for Atlanta and noticed there is not a single stick shift car on the list. It has probably happened before, but it is a shock to me.

Dwight,

The real shock is there are no super stock cars there at all. What a shame

Yes Dwight, it hurts to see that, but I don't think it is a trend as there are some racers in the Northeast that actually have built stick cars or switched back to a stick. Todd Bednaz and Bob Vogel have both changed their cars to sticks in the last year or 2.

We need only to look at the Div and world champioships the have been won by stick cars to be reminded how good we can be.

let's see, Helms, Peters, anyone heard those names or been beat by them ?

Not to mention Jim Waldo, John Calvert, Jim Hughes, and Don Keen. No doubt this only scratches the surface.

Shell shocked you mean!! To heck with the tranny! Look at that bunch of tree rip'n, back half drive'n racers going into the second round.

Dave Casey · 04-27-2007, 03:17 PM

Good list Chuck, I am sure there are more.

I'm shocked that there are only three Mopars in the field !!!!

How about the fact only 56 cars came? or were allowed to come.
