[QUOTE=MR DERBY CITY;673705]Call me crazy for building one but what I did out here on the west coast was to make sure I could use the car for more than just NHRA stock eliminator. I am purposely building an older car than can run nostalgia races and I'm using the largest radiator allowed along with a trans cooler in case of lapping or the hot temps at Bakersfield and Las Vegas.

Ron, if we continue to invest?? the amount of money we have in our
"Stock" Eliminator operations, for the current sanctioning body purses,
we may HAVE to race for groceries.

Ya know, I've spent years (literally) trying to teach Racers how to race with junk for junk (literal junk for a purse that is junk) and the only thing that I can ASSume is that an awful lot of Racers have a terrible ego problem or they need to get new accountants!

Billy. I just didn't want to drive a race car that was slower than my High School street driven car. Heck I was driving an L-88 69 camaro to high school and running 11.80's on weekends in 1973. What fun would it have been to "race" something slower. My wife put her foot down and said "nothing faster than mid 9's". The reason being when we grew up bracket racing she noticed every time a car, or a pair of cars went tumbling down the track they were usually faster than her recommendations. My choices were all about thrill, and rules from the rules committee. LOL

Jeff, I can appreciate you racing whatever you choose to race. BUT, ya know what the coolest/craziest/strangest thing about S/SS racing is? "Fast" is relative to your index.
OBTW, my high school ride was a very fast 57 Chevy and I'd have gone for a hundred against your Camaro.
