The separation between SS and SST aint even close to 300%. I bet you can get way more runs out of a similarly built T/S motor than a SS. Don't act like a T/S car comes close to a compairable TAFC in operation cost. If you think that most SS cars have less than 50K in them, then allow me to think of most T/S cars as S/G's with the trottle stop off (cuz thats what would qualify at Palm beach, and is going to qualify at BR). The separation in building and opperating cost aint even close to 300%. Don't even get me started on what type of car can claim more contingencies. Its illegal in S/SS to run half the list.
I'll be at BR and from what I see, you will too. So, you know my name. Come get me and we will take the qualifing sheet from T/S and SS, ride around, drink a beer, and maybee we will both do a little self educating on how much it really cost to qualify up top and on the bottom of both classes.

Gary, we have well over, well over, hell way over 50K in our car. Hell you might be able to get the motor for that years ago. Throw in the chassis, body suspension etc....Damn right we expect to make some good money for going 200 mph , maybe, if it hooks and don't shake or throw you towards the wall at over 180mph. And we only do it when we can afford to run it. And usually at select races and outlaw events. Hell I even run it out down that sh*tty track at Hattiesburg almost every chance I can. I know its not your style but hope you can make the Mardi Gras race at the hub this year.
