Yea you can do it cheaper, just like you can race a "dime rocket" in stock but who really wants to and those cars aren't winning races much less championships in either venue today.[/QUOTE]

I put my "dime rocket" together for less than 8K 2008 dollars and I've done ok. If I was 40 years younger and a better driver, I'd probably done a lot better. And yes for me it's been a shoe polish show, never had a heads up.

Jim, I like when I'm quoted because it unhinges some here.

If you're happy being a 1st and 2nd round player more often than not, then I would a agree, you've done ok. BTW, that $8k would be over $12k today

Mario, clearly you don't leave the rock you live under. but at least you acknowledged that my former super stocker is badass

can we come to an agreement and say that class racing is a glorified bracket race with a twist of taking old parts and making them haul a22 for what you are working with.

yes, glorified or not depends on who you ask but bottomline it IS bracket racing.
