283SS, I as I'm sure many here don't appreciate being called lazy. I'd doubt you could get 2 people who know me to say such a thing. What do you do for a living ? Pilot a desk I'd guess. I work plenty hard on my stuff as do most of the racers I know. trying to "get out of tear down" is not my priority, racing within my means with the stuff I've got to work with, that's what I'm about. Last year was my first year running NHRA after running IHRA for years. All of the racers we met this year were very freindly and really good people to be around. I really hate to think that they were secretly cursing me and my car. Maybe if I lower my engine enough I can put on a flat hood , oil pan may scrape a bit but would that make you feel better? Joe
