I raced a couple of National Open events in Super Street with my old bracket wagon and discovered that it was a very competitive class, the racers were great people, and that it was a great way to get into NHRA Sportsman racing. It just isn't my cup of tea.

I don't know why I am so attracted to Stock Eliminator. The money is just brutal in the first place and I keep picking combinations that belong in a museum and building them in house. I've had to take a few "vacations" over the years due to kids, breakage, etc. I still keep coming back. Going a second under (the old index) was a huge accomplishment for us in our home built '64 Plymouth but of course totally un explainable to anyone except, well, you guys!

I might not always come back. A great S/SS car is a motor away from being a great bracket car. I could put my Max Wedge under a blanket in the corner of the garage and go racing with a pump gas 440 for a couple of hundred bucks a weekend.

See you in Boise!
