I like to see displays of skill in a competition,,,
Rather than displays of I have more money to spend than you.

Back in the late 60's when all of us young buck were into drag racing,,,
They came out with a class called "Pure Stock".

Your car had to be factory stock,,,
You could pull your air filter and hubcaps,,,
I think you were allowed to have after market glass packs,,,
But other than that your car had to be just like it was when built.

That allowed us poor boys to have fun and meet girls as well,,,
The competition came down to who could drive & tune their car the best.

I'm not chewing sour grapes either,,,
I just want to see some shoots designed for ordinary folk.
