So don't stand (or sit in you case) there from the side lines and tell me about how the younger generation just buys their way to the top. There are still some of us who know how to fine tune a combo.

And by the way this happened 12 years ago with LT1 cars. Everyone with a 67-69 camaro was crying and they STILL ARE.
Class racing is not fair so race what you have and complain or build something new.
I also remember something about your old man being caught running a 350 instead or where a 305 was supposed to be many years ago in the wagon. Now thats working hard.....LOL.
