I am a 26 year old grad student, and like Mr. 55 Chevy, my (dad's) car had not seen the track in 17 years. After begging the old man for years and years he finally gave in and this was the first year we got it back out on my limited budget. I was ecstatic when I ran 11.teens on my 11.55 index (Still qualified way at the bottom of the pack). That was the best pass that car had ever seen and now I have an 11.25 index to deal with. Now I remember why dad had to quit racing back in the day and why I may have to quit already.

I agree I just got into racing last year I bought a new car and worked and spent my *** off to get 30 under and now I'm going bracket racing. I think nhra will have 5 or 19 less stockers and super stocker at every race in2010 who's got the money to build a faster engine and if your only running 30 under like me you can barely afford to race anyway anyone want to buy a stocker that can't run the number?
