Dick, i agree 100% and i will be the first to say, i can not afford superstock! My car now has a 406 in it and a delay box, i can get roughly 400 runs out of the motor in the car and every part in it was less than the 3-speed i was going to buy just to keep up with the jones. It runs 6.2's on the 1/8 and it is a ball, every race i attend is 20 minutes from my house and i can race every weekend if i chose. I love ss racing with all my heart and i wish i could continue, but i would like to retire someday

i'll still see you fellas when i go and help brother, he hasn't realized this yet but it is coming for him as well.

Joey,You see the secret of where the game is going. Enjoy racing what is reasonable for you. Let NHRA continue to allow MASSIVELY Expensive cars for S and SS. They discourage Class in as many ways as possible with their rules which abuse hard workers and reward WEAKNESS. You have the same "level playing field" locally with the bracket car they give you at a Points meet with a $50,000 SS or S car and you have a shorter drive. Keep in touch. I still love the vette with the 400 HP oval port.(another NHRA victim)

Thanks dick,

the manifold and carbs we got from you are still in our possesion and they will never leave it. They are one of those things that just can't be replaced, and who knows maybe one of those days we'll shove a big block back in the ole vette. Take care and we'll see you at the races.
