to clarify,, my post was not intended to be negative towards the track or any racer.

steel block late models,, the thought was hold down the cost. well just like all things in racing cost will get out of hand.  so when you need a steel block to contain 800 hp you must go aftermarket.. the price difference between aluminum and steel aftermarket is 1500.00  so for 1500.00 you keep out other cars.  if you think you are protecting the locals by keeping the big money guys out [you are not]. you will end up with a class so divided there will be 6 out of 20 cars that can win and the rest just follow around the pack hoping the top 6 fall out.   in light of whats happening with car counts aluminum blocks probably should be allowed.  the poor mans steel block class is getting smaller by the year. you now have a 358 late model class for those who dont want to spend a house on a motor to race at their favorite track.  open up the supers,, let nature take its course.  maybe the 358 class will grow so big you dont need the supers any more.   or the supers could race a few times per year with special shows.  i quit racing steel block latemodels because 20 thousand dollars for a motor i cant compete at other tracks with just does not make sense. i bet other drivers feel the same. 358s for me. that class makes perfect sense to racers and will grow!   

bickering lol

those calls arn't as easy as they look.    im sure the track did what they thought was right.

looks to me like legend uses his car more for a yard ornament than a weekend hobbie.  why have the best and drive the least??  you can have the absolute best,,,and still be a snoozer.  i guess we all have to do it our way.   i kinda miss the legend,,
