Project Junkyard Dog

It's over. I have had to put things to paper, and a harsh reality has hit me. I personally lack the capital and the patience to do this. This is really not easy. Class racing is an enormous challenge, and not one for someone strapped for time and/or cash. For me, staring at an almost-yet nowhere near completed project, and my bank account, and factoring in the odds-and-ends, fuel, and entry fee, and the fact that beyond 1 LODRS race and 1 National Open this is basically a Sportsman bracket car unless I want to leave the state (and it's a BIG state), and I see this is not going to give me what I am searching for. I'm not mad about it, if anything maybe I put unrealistic expectations on what I could do. I was not meant to be a Class Racer, no matter how much I like the challenge or the concept. So with that, I have put the car up for sale, and am dusting off the fwd dirt car. I will always be a huge fan of Stock. I think it's not a matter of making it affordable, or watering down or dumbing down the class, but more about finding those people whose personality suits this. I am very grateful for all the people I have encountered and all I have learned. In the end, I failed. But, I tried, and that's something. Thank you all, and good luck.
