National events are pretty much out of reach for a lot of us now. The local association combos are where it's at for a good majority. Why not put one of these "penny savers" together and support the guys who appreciate your business?

I don't think that the average Wanna-be Racer realizes just how easy and in-expensive it really is to put together one of these "penny savers". As "specialized" as even the average foot-brake bracket car has become, it's got to be cheaper and easier to build a competitive "under class" Stocker. The way many of the local tracks here in the northeast have cut back their bracket programs, some to as little as 2 or 1 day a month, it would almost make sense to build a "Dime Rocket" S/SS car. You can bracket race a S/SS car. You can't S/SS race your bracket car. It just seems to me that it would be logical to build a car that you can get the most use out of.

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
Somebody tell me why a '75-'77 Buick 350 2-bbl rated at 220 big cam or 205 small cam is not a good base for a dime rocket?

I don't see anything wrong with it other than maybe parts availability. 77 Century/Regal can make T. Personally, I think that the Regal is a good looking car.

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
We have a 75 Buick 350 4bbl intake..... And also a 1238349 intake that I don't know what year this one would be for other than it is similar to the 73 - 015 intake.

Isaac, don't/didn't you have a 77 Regal?

Jim, you're going to have to refresh my memory on this one. Was it your combo or the Super6?
