Thanks for the nod, Ray
I have to tell you this though. I have a friend who produces Youtube videos for a living. She posts two long form videos every week. Between all the shooting, editing and posting, she doesn't have time for much else in her life. It's a lot of work! That's not to say there's not a lot of publicity to be had in this medium. It's just not for me. I've had an idea for a while now about how to promote S/SS racing and get a new car and driver out there. Maybe I'll share it here next week.

I know that this YouTube video is a lot of work but it would be worth it. I don't know anyone reading this that is afraid of hard work. I look forward to ideas. Ray

If you want it to be a comedy series, have an old racer with a new FI car. It will be hilarious fun to watch for everybody except the old guy.

I've started a you tube channel where we race our nova street car in sportsman. The videos are from in car, they are slower but allot of fun. I'm doing this to learn how to do this and I want to Segway into the stocker we are gradually putting together. It has been in storage for 10 years and when we start the assembly I will take videos along with testing at the track etc. Lastly I would like to attend a divisional and show the behind the scene qual, fuel check, ladder etc. It's a great idea and look forward to anyone doing it. Our channel on YouTube is SimpsonCompetition2877. Thank You Robert

I know from Bill's builds that he tests his cars a lot as he develops a new combo. The potential new participant needs to be around 90 minutes or less from a track that has open testing and/or brackets monthly. The project should first concentrate on modifications that allow the car to remain street legal, in order to delay the need for the purchase of a truck and trailer until later in the program. I would concentrate on building a street-legal, Stock-legal bracket racer to get the hang of car operation and racing basics first before commiting to a race-only vehicle.

So there ya have it. Stop drinking those expensive energy drinks, get out of your Mother's basement, get in your Dodge Caravan and find yourself a tow dolly and a 2002-2005 Cavalier and YOU TOO can be an NHRA Stock Eliminator Hero!!!
No more excuses!!! Taken from my "Not Fer' Nuthin' But Close" thread in ClassRacer Builds.
