You just need to accept the fact the strut cars are here to stay. Skip is building them if you want to put a order in for one.

In fact I think you will see the Pro Stock dissappear after next year, if it even lasts that long!!! When you have to spend what AY, Fourney and Krape are spending to be competetive it's not conceivable for most people and if your not competetive, whats the point? ?

I don't think it's the amount they're spending, but the amount of time theyve spent racing. I know they all have over 15 years experience in a Pro Stock and that counts for a lot for being competitive.

I doubt this class is going away. They used to call them semi lates if I recall. This is what happens when in the days of old when there was a thunder car class. First thing was dirt tires were allowed and then they allowed weight jackers. It ran away from there. But as in any class, a couple get it figured out before the rest and are able to dominate. It happens in every class from four cylinders to Sprints. Even when nascar had the IROC series,where cars were built the same,someone always came out ahead of the rest of the pack. I used to watch semi lates with 2 barrels run at Cumberland Maryland, and a lot of them pulled the left fronts. And that was almost twenty years ago. that was old tech too!! I wish we could see 15 different winners every year in each class,but in reality that will probably never happen.

Moving spring mounts or whatever the hell they are doing isn't legal. STOCK why can't people get that through their heads!! I believe pro stocks will be a thing of the past as well. Also I have never heard that money doesn't matter. They are spending money and a lot of it. Go to late models if you want to run big time stock cars. Don't waste your money beating up people with lower budgets.

So you are saying that if someone can utilize technical info they are recieving from an outside source who has proven results in the racing field that makes the car illegal. All I can say to you my friend is you do not have a clue! Pro Stocks have never been stock! They have been a feeder division mostly to the Late Model division whether it be the 358 LM's or the SLM's. Racing is a very expensive sport and there are teams in every division of racing that have larger budgets than some and it will always be that way!

May be you need to come toCC and look at this car becaus you dont have a clue. If using a round tobe rocket chassis and scabing 2x3 sheet metal over the fram is what you call a pro stock then you need to go to other trackes and look at there [ pro stock / street stock ] and you will not find a car like this. And yes Mark Richards will sell any body a $10,000 doller car if that is what you guys call tech support. Oh and by the way it gets beat by a sleeper chassis allmost every week so i would buy that. These drivers have all the wright to complain about this classe it is out of hand to speend that much money to be a top 5 car.

You are talking alot but there is a lot of crap coming out! I have been to Clinton several times this year and I do know what that car looks like! I'm sure that, that car might be a Rocket but it was purchased used and as a wrecked car for the cage only. I am sure that is less money than purchasing a new Sleeper chassis. I guess the drivers can complain all they want if the class is out of hand because they are spending that much money. But let me ask you..How much IS "That much money". I don't think you even know!

You know, if you took the time and actually learned the tecnology behind race cars. You could build your own car for a portion of the price! Do you think these chassis builders woke up one day and suddenly experienced great knowledge of chassis technology? No, they did there homework(through trial and error) and actually took the time to learn and understand chassis. They didnt come on a message board and act like a child who just dropped his lollipop in the sand! There is nothing these chassis builders are doing that YOU CANT DO YOURSELF! But the question is......Will you take the time to learn? Or will you continue to blow off on a message board and hope that makes progress stop so you can keep up?

Last time I called Sleeper, they would build a car a whole lot cheaper than $11,000.00

So then, what your saying is AY should have done the homework on his old car instead of giving up on it and buying a new one? ?
