Dime Rocket = something you can "afford to race". Keyword being race. If one wants to win consistantly, the dimes will start to add up, quickly.

Truth is, there's no such thing as an "affordable" race car. There may be/are cars that cost less or may be/are inexpensive. It doesn't matter if you're running a lowly 4 cyl ;-) in the slow brackets or a T/F dragster, they all cost and the cost is relative to what we as individuals can afford!

I enjoy these threads. Opens up my eyes to some of the different combos out there. Funny you brought up that 82 302ci Mustang, Mark. I had an offer to trade a motorcycle I had for that very car about 4-5 years back. Would've been a great stocker, car only had about 60K. 2nd owner car, body was solid, paint fair, interior near perfect. At the time I just didn't need another car. Also, it was the wife's bike, she wanted cash, otherwise, I was tempted.
