And just for the record, if I were getting paid for the amount of time that I have spent on making cars that shouldn't go fast fast, I could have just paid cash for a COPO. Now IMHO, that doesn't sound like any fun.
It is entertaining to think outside the box and not just buy a bunch of cookie cutter parts. It is also a blast to out qualify 100k plus cars with some off the wall car even if I did go all "Paul Wong" on them. People like that term Billy. l am fortunate enough to have fast and slow cars but somehow nothing beats winning with the slower car.

Personally, I saw more parity in the types of cars in slower classes, which is encouraging for a guy on the outside looking in. I also have a sick fetish for things like inline sixes and small-motored late 70's-early 80's GM cars, so it seems to be where I'll belong.

If I ever get a car done lol...

I guess this year I'll try my hand at running a 4 cyl in NHRA stock.
As a long time 460 fan, this should prove interesting. :)

Theres something so cool watching a slo stocker get spotted 8 seconds and some high hp car just sitting patiently to try and chase him down, its great when the lil slo car that could, wins a round and the crowd goes nuts at a national on a Sunday. That is priceless.
I went 6 rounds in my home built 01 Camry 4 cylinder beating a modified 78 Vette after also beating him in the coin toss just to piss him off, lanes meant nothing. 100 ft. drags at Riverhead. I had the second slowest car. I got the trophy and a news paper interview, money guy w Vette got smoke coming from his ears, lol.
I look forward to Billys new build.......

Mike got this car because he wanted to prove he could get the national record with a Slant 6. He holds it now, and had it for awhile a couple years ago too. He was also Div. 5 Aeromotive Low Qualifier for 2011. He races with a bunch from his area and they all have a ball.
