Re: Under the index for under a grand!
Ain't happening, Dan! Though I would never discourage anybody from setting a National Record, I've been there and done that and until NHRA decides to reward me for doing so (which they should), I don't need the EGO boost. A piece of paper and my name in the back of Dragster(so small that you need a magnifying glass to see it) just isn't reward enough. Besides, the person who wins class at Indy should be the Record Holder because that person is the "hitter" in the class.

Re: Under the index for under a grand!
Dan, just for the (National) Record, if I were starting with a clean sheet, I would be building an "Under The Index for Under a Grand" using some kind of FFFord with a 302 2V in it. That could easily be an "Under the Record for Under 5 Grand" build.

Things of beauty - I'm so jealous! Any chance on getting the dimensions?

Good Point ! My Pure Stocker is always in development. Just never set a Record so it would be a goal for me. Have an opportunity to set 1/4 F/PS since it is wide open. Just in D1 will have to be under hot weather conditions. Got a nice Featherlight trailer and stopped driving to the races. Now can tear down and make it back home. Fixed up the 94 Caprice wagon to tow everything. New trans, beefed up rear suspension, gears. Installed a rear sway bar and for its weight will do well in Autocross. Good to build a competitive racer for under a $1000. Seems you cannot tow safely for "under" A LOT of money. Dan |

Of course, with NHRA's worshipping of the AHFS, something like that would never happen. Where's the fun?
