All these descriptions of Stock racing I recognise, and enjoyed over the years. There's one missing...
We raced from a grid start (not staggered) and we had to race with others - hitting them was the best guarantee of a bad time! And we enjoyed a good race, often irrespective of who won. These days, all I read is about wanting to win. The most fun I have had in this hobby is a good, fair race - win or lose.
Where'd that go?...
