If you like slower cars, that's fine.
For me, there is just not enough excitement to be had on the track with a slower car, no matter how challenging it is to make it a competitive class car.
The threshold for fun in a race car, for me, is around 11.50 at 115 or better.
I have no criticism for people who like slower cars. If that is what you like, by all means, have at it. It's all about what you find to be fun. I do, however, find it amusing that people want to criticize people for preferring to go faster.

That's one reason I enjoy racing a "slow/Odd ball" combo.Imagine the conversation when one of the high buck,stacker trailer,renegade guys gets home and the missus says "How did you do this weekend?" and you say "I lost to a 13 second gremlin".And you could cut the silence with a knife.:>):>):>)
In the scheme of things we're all a bunch of schleps spending money doing what we think
we enjoy.Some of us take it wayyyyy to seriously.Unless you're doing it for a paycheck. Then you're really in need of a reality check.
The winners are the guys who supply the tools (cars,parts,etc) to perpetuate this madness.
