With all due respect to the Stocktons, this is why when this series was first talked about I said that it needed to be unlike anything else in the area to draw and maintain a core group of cars. To do so would require a 2-3 year commitment with growing pains.
The way it was; it was not enough unlike everything else to make it unique. There are not many Steel Block cars running anymore because aluminum blocks can be fixed and aluminum motors can be bought for $7-$12,000 and be a good piece. In order for a steel block series to be successful, it has to have enough time to build a track record and have guys build motors to race with them. Thing is, look at how many guys say they lost motors this year with how few of races and cars ran. The problem with low buck teams is that they are on such a ragged edge in terms of equipment, it doesn't take much to push them over the edge. That hurts car counts and causes groups to have to change course.

I remember they ran a winged show at chandler about 1997 or 1998. Believe they had six cars and won by Matt Gilles. That deathtrap in Kentucky called McHenry was a wicked fast big 1/2 mile, with basically a cliff off at the end of turns one and two. It was a spooky place to run.

Should have not changed the rules with 5-6 races left in the series!!!!! What about top 10 in car owner points? Are they locked into the features that are left? We changed drivers!
