So true. That's the biggest rush I get (at least until before the next round)

I race a slow bracket car I and will say that a slow car is always out front. The driver of a slow car that cuts a good light, has a consistent car, and can judge the rate of gain of a quicker car can win on a regular basis.

However, learning rate-of-gain as well as speed and distance can only be achieved through many runs at the track.

It depends on how bad you want to win. Winning in this sport demands that no stone goes unturned. The faster cars win more rounds, period. So if winning is your top priority, get a faster car.

I just like getting the win light. It's a lot of fun beating the faster car.(and they are all faster than me!!!!!!)

I believe I've experienced those tremors!!

It's fun just to be involved in Stock/SS racing at any level from my perspective. (way more fun than watching from the sidelines and wishing for the means to own/drive a "fast" car).

For some, it's a toe in the pond, for others it becomes a career long "crawl".

I think you are right, but hey, I don't mind going slow. And I imagine he could "rock" a W/S car, especially heads-up LOL. The win light is all that matters, and I am starting to get it down. I love watching and racing in huge stagger races, whether I am the fast car (local brackets in the family race car) or the slow car (the 76 Pinto in W/S). Fun is in the eye of the beholder!

I hope not. Some day I'll finish my Shelby stocker and it will be a good deal slower than my SG car was. I think the reason I'm building it and the reason a lot of guys run what they do is because their familiar with the car and engine. I was probably one of only a very few SG cars around with an FE engine in it. I have a lot of years experience with that engine and it seemed like the logical thing to do was build a car around one.
