Best thing about U/SA?

[Joe Toller]

I know there's alot of U/SA drivers out here, some of the biggest "characters" lol around. Also some of the coolest cars and combos. So, U/SA'ers and fans of, what is the best thing about this class? Value? Parity? The camraderie? All of the above? Also, what is your favorite U/SA car or if you wanted one, what would you build?

I need some oddball car bench racing on a snowy Montana evening...

I will say all of the above, but I'm a sucker for odd, cheap, ugly race cars...

A U/Stocker is MUCH more fun to pilot then a U/SA!

I Think watching a mail jeep go from mail box to mail box in snowy Montana would be more Fun....

More fun? Maybe. More personal satisfaction? No.
IMHO, all of the lower Stock classes are the last place left where real HotRodders can play in the NHRA except for the occational Import in SS or Comp.
There's just something very satisfying about taking an old car that the aftermarket has no interest in, building your own parts, creating your own engine program and making it go 4 or 5 seconds faster than it should.
Or you could just get out your checkbook and be a StreetRodder!

I like the wagons and large trunk vehicles cause they carry the beverages. You guys have too much fun, sorta like racing in 62 and 63.

This is hitting the nail on the head. I never thought of the beverage hauler idea.

Thats why I am here! I love budget racing, and I especially love taking something that has no business being a race car and getting it to the track. Its alot easier to do on the strip instead of the dirt!

FYI, in bad weather Montana mail trucks use chains on the rear wheels, no fun to watch at all

I think Billy hit the nail on the head and getting a chance to take on one of the new FX cars adds to the fun.

What tend to be the best U/SA Cars.

There is a red U/SA Red Dodge or Plymouth wagon that goes to Mason Dixon from time to time..
