One interesting thing. We freshened the 307 motor in the Cutlass and my 6.2 COPO motor this year. The cost was pretty much the same. It proves that once you own the car, the overhead can be controlled. |

Great job by all. Racers and spectators love a Q/S vs FS/A!

A most excellent point! I sit in the stands alot to watch Stock and Super Stock and I will say that the races with a huge handicap do, indeed, get the crowd buzzing. Sadly, most of the fans (?) have gone back to the pits or to the concession stand, but the ones who stay and watch really get into the slow vs. fast cars.

Slow cars are at a disadvantage until NHRA commits to Tru-start system. (redlight first)

Congrats to everyone on this list. It is not easy running a slower car in stock with as fast as things are getting, but boy it sure is fun. Like Ellis and I discussed the other day, if all you've ever driven is slow stuff then you feel right at home.
