Misconception on a slow stocker winning

2010 Div 7 Allstar in Stock
Went to US Nationals 2010 and beat a couple of the very Best Drag Pack Cars.
4th in Div 7 2010
3rd at Winters' 2012. Stock

His ragged 11 Sec. SS Aspen has beaten several New Mustangs and
8 Sec. Modified cars at National races that run 40 to 50 MPH Faster.

My old 13 Second Valiant won Pro Track Champ. LVMS against Mostly
8 to 10 Sec transbrake cars that are 60 MPH plus faster on our Div 7 Winning Team and I can't findthe bathroom without a flashlight at Night!

If you cut a light and know your car and weather well enough to Dial it right AND know where the finish is.......You will be OK with your slow slugmobile!

Just my .02 worth, sorry for the rant.

We bring to the races cars we can afford to build and still
pay the rest of our bills and eat regular every day!

There are not many people in our neck of the woods that can
race 100K plus cars.........If you can that is good and you are fortunate!

x2 John, and my car has come close a couple of times with two quarter-final finishes at the '06 Mile Hi's, and the '07 Tucson LODRS (the car ran right on it's dial-in, but I redlit by .013), plus a Final round loss at always tough Bandimere Speedway at their final '06 fall racing classic series race to Lane Weber, when our two 16sec. cars outlasted a field rich in much quicker running cars. My cars main problem is lack of funds to go to more races, and the summer schedule here in the desert doesn't help with my storage issues either....I'm working on that. My bet is that either Michael Beard, Stan Kopejtka, or Jody Lang will be the next slower roller to do it, and Michael or Stan being the next one to do it with a 14sec. or slower stocker....
