Nick, That's a valid point. But those who know me, realize that I usually call 'em like I see 'em. I'm not going to sugarcoat anything, just to get new guys hooked into Stock Eliminator.
I didn't create these "rules". I just want to make newbies aware of them.
I've made several posts on the dime rockets threads, encouraging guys to build their own T 200s, fill their own blocks, build their own headers, etc.
Billy will also tell you that many of these guys that we've tried to guide,..well, you never hear from them again. My guess is the realized how deep they were getting in, and had to back out.
After I wrap this up, we'll have plenty of time to kick it around.
Thanks
