1979 Firebird - IHRA stocker?

[Robert Swartz]

Just to add to my thread. Spoke with a couple of gentlemen at Ohio Valley in Louisville, Ky last nite. Got two pretty diverse opinions. One really tried to convince me that building a car is prohibitively expensive but can be done. He was referring to a new car with almost all new parts and someone else doing alot of the work. He has his valid points like many on this board have expressed. His opinion buy an already establish combination.

Now, on the other hand, spoke with another racer running a very similar combination to one I have researched. Yes he states it can be expensive but, if one uses their head, you can build a competitive car. He let us look over his car. We asked many questions and he was willing to give in depth answers. His car, a Camaro G/CM, was running 7.0's against a 7.70 index.

Hasn't helped me decide whether I want to enter this fray or not. Did learn a number a things that may enhance the decision making process.
