[Tony Corley]

So just to clarify. You feel like no one wants you too race because they won't condone the idea of you cheating? Nobody is saying you have to build it perfect, just legal. I would much rather show up legal and slow, than illegal and a second under the index. Build the car you can afford, (and be legal), and work on it over time to make it better, while racing it in the meantime in brackets. That attention to detail that you referred to lacking earlier is exactly what you need to possess to field a competitive stocker on a limited budget. When you can't afford to pay someone to do everything for you, then you have to learn to do it yourself. That is actually the allure of stock. There are no extremely high dollar parts required to be competitive, just lots of attention to detail. As Billy said, a lot of people have been trying to help you in here, because racers want to see others race. But don't slap them in the face by feeling like you have the right to show up at a race with an illegal car, just because you didn't have the funds to spend on it. Racing is expensive, and class racing moreso. The old saying, "Get in where you fit in" applies.
