I believe that Bill has it said correctly here. Dave Boertman won over $10,000 for stock eliminator at Indy in 1971 using an engine that probably cost around $350 to duplicate in 1971 in a $300 dollar body. How much in todays (2010) money would that $10,000 be. The cost of building a car like his or say someone like Boby Warrens Chev 2 combo vs the potential profit margin? No "enhanced heads" lite wt. trans., killer valve springs, expensive lifters, etc. $70,000 to $100,000 "kit cars" not to mention Toter Homes and stacker trailers. Oh well.....yesterday is just a memory.
