Dago,
I'm located in North Central Indiana. I used to fly down to Ft. Worth to the Nascar Race every year. I've got to say you Nascar Fans are probably the cleanest, polite, friendly and most well behaved rednecks I've ever been around. I'm not saying you don't party, you just don't party at someone else's expense. You can't go to a race up here unless you get drowned in beer and a drunk spends the whole time aggrivating you and your wife during the race.
The reason I posted here was to get an idea of what to do with my car ( that's arriving today ). I don't want to change anything on the car that would disqualify me to race in anything but bracket. I can race my pickup in bracket, while it's fun, there's only pride in yourself, not your car. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. When I bought my 57 Fairlane for $4500 off ebay I didn't realize I would eventually sink 50K into it before I was happy with it. Soooo, pride must mean something to me.
I think I'll stick to stock as much as possible because it seems there's more accomplishment achieved in performing well with stock. It just looks like I might have choosen the wrong car to accomplish it in. Jim
PS BTW I'm a hillbilly, Ky bred.
