Pick one or a few of these as your favorite thing. The reason you love it. Or add another.
#1 the spirit of racing against others with the same restrictions
#2 chasing a Wally
#3 the way it was back then
#4 the stock appearance of the cars
#5 I just love all forms of drag racing
#6 the battle between manufactures
#7 wheels up racing
#8 the science
#9 point championships
#10 the S/SS community

"What do you like about s/ss racing?"
Chris nailed it.
"#1 the spirit of racing against others with the same restrictions"
"#8 the science"
#1 and #8 are what makes Stock and Super Stock racing unique. Running in the 9s or 10s in other classes is relatively easy because of all the great race oriented drivetrain and suspension parts available for a good price. Try running 9s with a factory intake manifold, carb, and heads, in a 3500 lb. car on 9" tires, or 8s with no hood scoop and a factory carb, or even 11s with a "smogger" 305 using a cast iron factory intake and 8.5:1 compression. Gains in ET are the result of lots of hard work and are measured in thousandths of a second, instead of by just bolting in a bigger engine.
I think all forms of local drag racing are great, from Jr. Dragsters to Super Pro, but for me Stock and Super Stock will always have a special attraction due to the challenging rules that they overcome through their ingenuity and hard work.
Good question, Matthew. I'm looking forward to reading what appeals to others about these classes.
