Hi Henry, I didn't realize you had signed up. It's great to have you on board.

Something that I'd like to see is quantifying of mods - any mods; motor, transmission, braking, chassis, etc. It would be cool if you had the baseline 1/4 mile, 0-60, 60-0 braking, skid pad/Lateral-g, etc, for stock Camaros, Chevelles, Mustangs, etc, and printed the comparison hard numbers of before and after in a sidebar in the tech articles so a guy could see how much better over stock a certain mod is and then can weigh the cost vs. performance of the mod. Over time a large database would be accumulated and be a neat tool to draw real numbers from.

As for motorsports coverage... I've seen/read enough results and stats to fill an entire set of encyclopedias. lol What would be cool is if you just picked somebody out and followed them along for the weekend and wrote the story of how it went for them. A lot of times the stories of the thrash just to make the show is more interesting than who won. I think that would be interesting regardless of what class they're competing in. Think of it as a print version of NBS 24/7. For instance, the stories of what happened between stops during Hot Rod Drag Week was more interesting than what the winners actually ran at the track. But hey, that's just me.

That might be enough from me for now. lol
