New Jerico DR-4 3250.00
New Jerico DR4-4 4500.00
Ram or McLeod(Tim Hyatt) 1500 to 2000 I have both sorry no Advanced Jeff
Flywheel aluminum 450.00

I've never clutched mine. It does go right in. I don't clutch it while driving thru the pits. I haven't met anyone yet who clutches there car. We like to break stuff as Ed Wright would say. I hope you find a car. ED

"Was on Racing Junk and saw a nice F/S 69 Camaro but $30k sounds awfull high for what you would get".

JLTefft1, if you are refering to the white w/ orange stripe '69 Camaro, it is the cleanest car you will find for the money. I drove it. It shifts smooth, (clutchless), and is an overall nice car. It may not be the fastest, but it wouldn't take much. The owner works with me.

Hi jltefft1 ! I was the first one to respond to your post and i was going to mention i had a car for sale but just felt like i was takeing advantage of a newbe, so to speak! I have a 70 Ply RR or GTX 440, 6 pak w a Pro/Trans, and a Dana, the car can run in A/SA,B/SA,C/SA..The engine is fresh, the trans is fresh, the convertor is fresh from ATI, the tires are new , slicks are new (6pases ago)! Has run 1.00 under with ease! Built by Tri-City Compition, in Breckenridge, Mi. There's alot more great parts in the car. It's a really hard hooking car.Thanks for your time, John Lang The price is 28.500.00

To all who responded Thank You!! Great information and much appreciated. Big step for me to get back into something I grew up doing and especialy when retirement is just a few short years away. I will be doing this out of my own pocket and no one will be helping with the car. I will be posting again with questions about a budget for racing. Thank you all again and be gratefull for being able to do what you love to do!! Take NOTHING for granted. Jim
