Well this is not a new thing; there is always teams that have more money then others. It's not their fault. They can buy more tires or more parts. This has been going on for the 20 years that I have been going to Delaware. This stuff goes on at all levels of racing: those who have more money go far and those that don't get left behind !!! This might not be a good thing but it's the way it is. You could be the most skilled driver but without the money or the sponsor, you will not go far. This is a dollars sport . So some times u get guys with money in good cars that can't drive and then you get good drivers and money winning all the time. It's not their fault. How do we fix this not sure !!
that will never change ....all classes bottom to the top...
Much of this is true. Desire and ambition is also part of it in any case how far you go. Those who succeed to reasonable degrees do not forget, and take pride in where they came from.
In reality to those guys, no one is left behind, stories a many . Local tracks is where it all begins and always will be.

I would agree to a point, but the cost at the lower levels is getting way out of hand just to be in the ball park, the worse it gets, the less new guys there will be coming into the sport, and it will drive current teams out. There's always going to be the haves and the have nots, but there needs to be some sanity to the spending.
Agreed ;D
My stock 140hp Nissan 240 (championship car in 2009) got bloooown past down the straight away this year by "stock" 90hp Mustangs on $300 tires. Track official agreed the rules werent being enforced, but if they did, they would drive cars away...
So we left instead

yup, don't want to drive the cheaters away LOL seems like the attitude at Delaware to, stupid little money fines and minor points fines, only one real DQ this year....sssssssuuuuuper lame, keep the cheating hacks happy, drive out the guys that run honest.
I asked you guys to be constructive...Please! We all know what needs fixing so do we ask to get it fixed? or do we complain about what was wrong with this season that is now in the books? We need to look to the past not relive it. As far as those retreads go I would like to run a test session on those, I heard quite a bit of complaining about them. And secondly will you need to purchase 8" rims?, which would add to the cost! The other suggestion was a comprehensive list of allowed parts by part number, This would allow the part shops to perhaps reduce costs of inventory and pass it along. Just a thought
