Bragging rights and a big ego..............................

Larry, what it will get you is a since of pride and accomplishment. You will be competing againist the best class racers in the world, and racing the best class cars to date. I cant think of any group of people that i would rather spend a weekend with. If I wanted to bracket race, then i could always race my every day work truck. Class racers enjoy working on their cars and trying to squeeze every inch of horse power out of their engine. It does not matter if it is a 15,000 or 35,000 dollar engine. Anyone who has stock and superstock in their blood knows what I am trying to say.

herbie i have had the fastest s/s car in my class and been no.1 at a nat. event you know what my ego got was a hat and my pic. taken. i didnt see the point. after alll that work.

Re: Black Tuesday?
 

I am really sick of the just spend more money crowd. These class used to be run by people that worked on there stuff on there own. Now these people should all get out of the way of the just buy it and he with the most money will win crowd. Whats next you must bring recepts to prove you spent a certen amount on the car before you can enter.
I would be much more impressed with the guy that built his own car and can just run the index than the guy that just wrote a big check to have some one build them a turn key car. I have had allot of help getting me to the point I am at I did not build it all my self I had help from friends but we try to do every thing we can by our selves. That explains why we have not had the car out for awhile. But it will be back in the spring with a home built motor.

Re: Black Tuesday?
 

I do the same, I machine and build my own engines, trans, rears, carbs, suspension and alignment. One thing I have zero talent for is paint and body work, I'm very impressed with people who have that talent. Big money will always have an advantage, there's no way around it, Paul.

Paul

1st of all get the car out and race it
When was the last time the car was out 4-5 years ago
Then spend more then 500 bucks a year on it
It isnt always about big money
You have to expect to spend some money on it
Class racing costs money..
As in all things for the most part you get what you put into it in both time and money
There are no free rides here and thats the way it should be....

Re: Black Tuesday?
 

So I guess if we don't have the equipment, or the ability to build our own cars and motors, we shouldn't race???? You're an idiot! I race on a limited budget, yet I pay someone to build and freshen my motor, continually updating it to make it faster. Every year I make improvements to my car, once again to make it go faster! Does that make me a bad guy because I pay others to do most of it??? Oh, wait. I actually race my car too! That's more than we can say for some of you on here crying!

Last year the best I went under the index was -1.11 seconds! I was outrun in class by over 2 tenths by the type of racers you're crying about! Am I going to pack my bags, sell my **** and quit??? Hell NO! I'm going to make my car faster!!!! On my own???? NO!
With a little help from my engine builder, and others whom I rely on to help me WIN!!! Oh, by the way.....I hope they do take .3 off the indexes!!!

Herbie.......some people just don't get it.........and never will!
