Maybe you should try a "Dime Rocket". It can't hurt.

Billy, I couldn't agree with you more about the "Dime Rocket" ideal....heck I just found out today from Vic Hobbs that Bill O'Connor won a Stock/Super Stock Combo race...not with a fire breathing big block, or a V-10, or even a wheel standing small block, but his 4bangered fwd Dodge Omni, this past Saturday in Fontana! How much more of a "Dime Rocket" winner can you get than his car?

As another racer said here on this thread, you can thank the better economy, and especially the lower gas prices too....heck when this season started, I figured that the same number of people who raced D7 last year would be racing this year, thus I'd have less D7 people to race against, and it would be a little easier to have a good points finish for the first time since 2008....WRONG!!!! Only two divisionals so far and there's 110 racers competing in my division for me to have to deal with, and there may be more after Sonoma this weekend. Competition is good, and the turnouts are increasing and that's good for the life of our categories and classes! I can't wait for my next race in two months in Utah!!!!
