Update- So the progress has been a little slow lately ,a number of things are happening in my circus. First off we are expecting another little drag racer this summer.......actually Triplets.....yep three new additions eeekkk!! Also a quick spruce up of my "Mummy Wagon" (suburban) has turned into pandoras box. In the meantime I have been collecting and aquiring parts, and I was a bit suprised to see what I have gathered. In light of the recent events this car will probably slow down on the progress, and I may have a good buddy of mine pilot my Chevelle at a few select races this summer.

Congratulation on your new tri-power addition. Your diaper budget could surpass my racing budget. Keep up the good work.

[Dion Hildebrandt]

I think the diapers will pale in comparision to what the Hildebrandt race operation will look like when all 5 kids would like some stockers of thier own hehe.

Dion,
All that comes to my mind is, God bless you, and I wish you all the best with all of your "projects"! LOL!

I've got triplet girls that just turned 11. Their brother is 13. While all four were in diapers my monthly bill at Costco for diapers was around $400!
And I hate to tell you, but that was nothing compared to todays expenses. Wait until they get into sports, dance, music, whatever. Just went to their first concert the other night as I bought tickets to Taylor Swift for all 6 of us for the girls birthday present. $625! And no, that won't be an annual event!
And people wonder why I'm not racing. But truly, racing pares in comparison to being with the family and nurturing them into adults. If you can go racing in the immediate future, great. But if you have to put it off due to time or money, don't stress out. With work and family, I just don't have the time (and rarely the money) to do this. But the new 390 AMX engine is scheduled for the dyno June 10th and I'm getting excited again. The minor chassis work will be done soon thereafter and I will make some test-n-tunes this Fall and at least one NHRA race.
I wouldn't worry about the Canadian GM parts. NHRA doesn't seem to have issue with it as far as I know. A few documents should suffice.

[Dion Hildebrandt]

Jeff its good to know costs will be high! haha Racing is important but I have had a few sabatacles (sp?) in my racing past, this year is a no go, next season? who knows. As long as I can dream I am still alive

As I read the documents I got from Gm yesterday it seems the 195 horse 283 ,and the 250 AND 300 horse 327 were available in these cars. GM gave me a full options sheet for the car. So as long as I can get some one with an available ear I cant see any reason why there wont be an Acadian Invader running as a stocker hehe.

Just give Pat Cvengros @ NHRA Tech in Glendora, CA a call on Monday. He's the Stock / Superstock Committee Chairman.
