I would ask that you answer these questions seriously as I am sure representatives from the Associations will see this. Jim
I want to get back out but since the car has sat since '06 in storeage (no place to work on it) and bringing home under 400 a week things look pretty bleak for me (before rent and food). I want to get back out but will have to drop down in class as I don't have the money to be competitive in K/SA any more. Will see what 2011 will bring with a 2bbl set up. I can run New England ASRA and possibly the Valley for the Divisional but that's it. New England is supposed to go NHRA next year so a National is out.
