I hate the direction racing is heading

I said what your title says, about 40 years ago for different reasons. They killed MP and some other classes I was into, high priced Snell approved helmets need replacing every few years, seat belts that look like new with just a few hours use, etc.

Back racing again, after 33 years absence for one last time following retirement, but old, race only, class car with cage, big slicks and go fast stuff parked, now running simple 12.80s car that's street legal on drag radials, good enough.
