Car counts plummeting? I don't think it's because of the CJ's and DP's. I heard the same wad of crap about the LS-1 cars too.

I was at Tri-State a couple weeks ago for a divisional and there were 94 stockers on the qualifying sheet. Not a CJ or DP in the bunch either. Looked to me like there were 20 F/SA cars alone.

There's a whole bunch of classes that those cars don't even fit in where you can still be competitive for not a whole lot of cash.

Hell, Charlie Blossom is killing his index every time out in a car he DRIVES to the race track. Oh yeah, he's not in a "glory" class, so no big uproar about him.

My buddy Mike Jeffrey has been national record holder in V/SA in a car he has way less than $13K in total.

The CJ's and DP's will keep getting HP until they make it into SS only.
