anytime UMP wants to or does make a change people complain and forums like this one blow up with dumb posts/comments.

Remember the days when your racecar only fit the rules at one, maybe 2, tracks? You had full fields and didn't have to have the same equipment as the guys running across the midwest thinking they were going to be the next Jeff Gordon. Most local guys just want to race and have fun with their buddies, they don't care about ever winning a national championship or impressing Rick Hendrick. They had their own battles amongst themselves and didn't care if anyone outside the community knew who they were. Next time you are at a "weekly show" and you see big expensive haulers in the pits when the most anyone is racing for is $1000.... ask yourself where the problem lies!

You make some good points here and yes those were the best days when it comes to racing. Work Monday through Friday and hit the race track Friday,Saturday and Sunday nights for the most part. Yes you had your rivalries but, that made for some interesting nights. I agree the racers can be their own worst enemy when it comes to cost but, when you have 5 or 6 with big budgets the rest of the guys go broke trying to be competitive.
