so now he is faced with :

2. keep plugging away and watch his efforts be thwarted by more $$$$ and more rule changes that favor the faster car / richer competitor as he drifts lower on the qualifying sheet and cannot race at indy anymore
3. quit racing the class he loves, stock eliminator, because he cannot or chooses not to compete with the $$$$$ guys...

face it billy we are a dying breed... we like to win with our intelligence, and hard work that no longer counts...if you cant buy a new mustang or challenger, or afford to buy enough ET to race you aint **** anymore...

sure we can find an obscure combo, a killer caddy or something else, but sooner or later the snowball is gonna run over us. there is NO CHANCE we can ever go back to the days of teardowns at every national event, FARMER handing out horsepower in the staging lanes, and every class winner being represented in the eliminator... you know the way WALLY designed it.

i am about done with it all, maybe it is time for us old dinosaurs to go away... hell it feels like im in an ice age as i type (its frigging cold here)...

Jack, I'm guilty as charged! Hey, Tim Worner wants me to stop by and help him clean out his fridge (although I can't imagine him having much to clean knowing that crew!) and it sounds like the kind of job that you and M.J. could get into. Are ya up for a road trip?
