I had my 10.90 car painted last year buy Kenny Koonce. He did a great job as usual. I had around 5 grand in the paint job and other work he did. Since I got over 15 grand in "STICKER MONEY"
I will sticker one up in a heartbeat.

Chip,
With all due respect to your thoughts on sticker less race cars, your opinion may have merit. However, as for my bud Steve's Savoy, he's not wearing the number 54 on his car because he's a fly by night racer, and if you think so then tell him how you feel about his car not having decals on it prior to an elimination round against him (I'd pay an entry fee just to watch that race)! The last time some people belittled me with my dented/paint chipped '73 Pontiac Ventura, and my race team "Bandimere Speedway" tipped me off to that it did nothing but give me the extra mojo to win the 1981 Division V Street Eliminator Championship!!! Furthermore, I won't forget the racer who back at the '98 Mile High Nationals felt that he could so easily beat my Cavalier (because it was a bit off of the index), that he clicked his motor while still on the race course, and felt that he could coast to the win against me??? What he wasn't counting on was by doing that I was able to real him in, and I nipped him at the stripe by .003!!! Furthermore, what made it more embarrasing to him was that "Winston Vision" showed the whole thing for all of the fans and the announcers to see...I hope that CROW he ate tasted good...my other pal Jody Lang in round three eased up against me but he was smart enough to hit the throttle enough to assure that he stayed ahead of me, cause I was about to do the same thing to him, but he respected my abilities and remained the class act that he is!!! That will go down as one of my finest hours in this category!!!
My point to you Chip is be careful what you say and to whom, cause it could cause you to be like him, and/or bitten in the *****!!!
Besides, his car (if you watched the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction and saw Bill Goldbergs Dodge Coronet) is worth enough money that it would take 5-8 national events (maybe more) winning $15K a pop to equal what his car would be worth on the auction floor....
