Funny ..
Nobody has mention how the effects "pro-stock" racing has on the local facility`s and racing at these places..


For one ...
These pro-stock racer`s buy their battery`s & motor`s from their sponsor, cutting the facility that hosts the racing for you out...

two

Who are we trying to get to race in this sport ?

Answer
New racer`s !!!!

When a new racer`s starts up in this sport we are lucky if 1 in 10 are even racing after 1 year....

Yet, these new racer`s are the bread & butter for the professional race facility`s...They pay the bills ....

After these new racer`s join in the fun in novice and naturally progress, they are force to bump into stock with these so called "Pro stock" racer`s ...

These new racer`s die out, don`t last long with the fact that they mostly will not win stock for ages and only after mass practice and a sizeable investment in battery`s, time & equipment.

bottom line

This must change , its not helping this sport grow and get better...
