Drag Racing is Dying

I don't think you know anything about drifting. Not trying to highjack the thread. But this is my point saying drifting isn't a muscle car thing is like saying auto cross, road cources, circle tracks, or the salt flats arent for muscle cars either. The 60-70s are over, no one has drag raced a bone stock car in any big time competition in 40 years (nhra, ihra ect.) So the "kids" with their non "muscle cars" have came up with new ways to have fun behind the wheel.

Muscle cars aren't limited to being built by the big three between 1960 and 1974 that was just an era that has past us by.

No I don't know much about drifting because im not interested in a foreign sport. Kinda like there being a difference between American Football and European Football which is basically soccer.

The reason no one has raced a bone stock car in a big event in 40 years is because our generation didn't pick up the tradition on average (yes I am in your generation because according to your profile I am 2 years older than you)

So the few privileged "kids" of our generation who are fortunate to have a muscle car have the chance to bring it back to its glory ....however most choose to water it down with Japanese or foreign heritage. (yea, who is killing the sport) Which is the point of the whole thread as to why drag racing in its original form is dying.

And yes muscle cars are limited to American cars built in a certain era .....that is why there are different names for different cars .......a late model Toyota with a turbo is not a muscle car, its a tuner or something else. Muscle cars are very specific to an era and location.
