"I like bone stock, pistons, rods, cranks, valves and cams, and trans gears. Allow external parts like injection, Power commanders, ign boxes and pumps and pans."

Sounds good to me... Stock motors converted to run alky. Allow the power commander and auto tune for those of us that don't have a dyno local or want to drive 8 hours to find one!

At the end of the day it would be nice to go to the track and feel that I had a legitimate shot at running in the top 50% of the field without a $25,000 car.

That being said, until I get my car handling it doesn't matter what the competition runs. If I can't flat-foot it around the track I don't deserve to run up front!

Having a local track like Waynesfield is huge for me. I am about 8 miles away from the track and don't have the $$$ to haul this thing hours away to run for 100 bucks!

Hopefully everyone can put things in perspective and remember at the end of the day it should be the best driver with the best setup holding the flag!!

I applaud Waynesfield for keeping the Mini Sprints alive in this area. They could have easily been dropped with the transition to the big track! I've seen that happen in the past and everyone ends up with a nice boat anchor sitting in their garage.
