I don't know what the crowd (count's) where like at Delaware in the early 80's but the cars shown look fast, clean and competitive. And the variety of paint jobs - cool beans indeed! Maybe it's just me... but I keep harping back to the days of variety and I think that's what we're missing today. Next Generation variety... LM is all cookie cutter cars with either a white or black body (seems to me the many are not painted due to cost) and they're all one of three basic shapes of noses and tails... I've had a few discussions with guys that deal with water based paints, and they've all said it is manageable and possible to do by an amateur, the key is air movement to ensure it dries properly and temperature. The downside is cost. Water based paints are not cheap.

It will go full circle again. The lm's cost so much you will see the ss class grow and be a greater class than it already is. The lm's I bet will die off then just run specials and the ss may grow to be the big show. remember just my opinion dont read into it.........
