heads- up runs

Jeff,
This is straying somewhat from thread, but your car is still at that point after 4 years?
I'm very patient but my patience would have ran out about 3 years ago because it sounds like it has'nt been touched.
I think making your car back to stocker sounds like good ideal.

Started to write a response but I don't want to hijack the thread. Send me a PM if interested.

Bubski I currently do run a small block but for different reasons. I made the change to the small block before the new cars came because it is less expensive, less maintenance, and fits my driving style better. Though I did win a race with the big block back 5 years ago I would not go back to A-AA or AAA unless I had one of the new cars. I have always been more interested in winning than going fast and pick classes that I can be competitive in. You are right that my 402 would not be comp with the new cars

Lee, no problem brother it was a great race, hope we can dance in a final again in 2012, lol.

4 years in stock IHRA L/SA 283 GM(and not a crate motor) ,between me and my son we have had 0 heads-up.
Been lucky and sometimes changed to a diff class as we could move up or down classes with weight ajustments.
NOW in superstock this year alone my son has had at least 5 and lost all 5 in 1st round.
Had a certain driver wait to see what class we got in and then he would turn his tech card in after ours... Then play the ladder (and so would we).....Told us he needed to make rounds and i guess we helped him.....That is one reason why you will not see the superstocker next year (at least not in superstock).,the ole saying you have to PAY to PLAY is very true,we just got tired of paying and not playing.My son will take this car and move back into his comfort zone in racing ,which is pro tree heads up throttle-stop racing( 2 IHRA world championships and numorous div titles) and big $$$ bracket racing. And i know for a fact he will be turning on a lot more W's..........We tried ,we liked ,we could not afford it..How's that for honesty ?
I still love class racing and always will.......
