I enjoy the stockers. I watch the races on TV. I pore over the cars and
look at the technical details at every opportunity, like at IRP in early
October.
Should they run at 'vintage' events?
I don't think it's appropriate. It's a different hobby.
It's similar to taking an eight horse hitch of Clydsedales to an Arabian
horse show. It's like expecting your restored WW2 bomber to be welcome
at a hot air balloon festival. It's like wanting to race your 12 meter
yacht at the same sailing event as the Lightnings. It's like letting a
male barbershop quartet compete in the Sweet Adelines contest.
Sorry, as much as I like them, they don't fit (but that won't keep me
away from an event where they are).
