Since this is a fantasy thread let's have some fun.
35 cars show up so number 1 qualifier is important. 1.75 under??? NHRA puts up some big money for the winner and runner-up. Sponsors give money for first round losers and so on. I better stop there my brain is overworked. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ron, I think it should be under 10 grand to get it on the track, and then 100 grand ,after 30 years ;-)

I say that the winner gets the pick of all the losers cars as his/her prize! How much are you willing to lose?
This thing is fast going from a "Dime Rocket Fantasy" to a "Dime Rocket Acid Trip"!

We do have a few 2 door ECO Cavaliers cars auto and sticks but as I said before how to make time for build. We have done winning dirt cars overnite if we had the cage done. We use to switch stick transmissions in 30 minutes because of gear ratio for different tracks. HHRs also has a different ratio. Tom

Hey Tom, just out of curiosity, how much "time" do you think that I have in the Cavalier? If I started after dinner, I'd probably be in bed by 11:00. I spent more time looking at a laptop screen and trying to figure out what I was doing than I did on the actual car.

Tom, you're giving me too much credit. I didn't ask the question with malicious intent. I literally brought the car home and raced it in as-is condition. Other than changing the wheels and tires and removing the P/S pump, I've done nothing other than what I (Doug) did with HP Tuners. It was really that easy.
Now I DID want to "play" with an ecotec so I guess that maybe some thought went into that. Trust me, I'm no W.J.! Not even close.
