Racing has changed over the years and in my eyes a lot of it hasn't been for the good of the sport, but I guess good for the tracks. We now have racers that double enter races week after week. Lots of no box racers BRAG about being able to beat the box guys but meanwhile week after week the double entered cars get double time trials and HITS on the tree. Adjustable trans-brake buttons that can be dialed in with extreme accuracy. High stakes gambling with sometimes even multiple cars. I sit there at the "high dollar" races that I either attend or watch on the internet at races with 570.00 entry fees and the amount of cars that double enter and I just shake my head. These guys are tough too as they should be. Engines and transmission professionally built every year, usually sponsors supply parts at cost and or free. The game has passed me by but I still enjoy taking my single swing at the golden ring. If I lose first round I will usually spend my 20-25 dollar "buy-back" money since I'm there. Running 6.0's is still fun for me in the 1/8 or 1/4 mile but who knows, the oldman may have something left in the tank to step up his program and make the 660 foot pass a little more interesting.
