Alan I respect your needing to run G/S et's or better, but I like the competition drag racing allows...plus not having to be concerned with speed limits, and unsafe drivers/roads. That's why I race...I'm too old for human drag racing (track), and I didn't do very well with horses...real horse power, and the way they race turning in circles, I refuse to do that, because if someone tries to purposesly wipe me out, there's going to be problems...what Richard Childress did to that Bush guy would only be part of it...if you can't beat someone in a clean and fair race, then you shouldn't be racing...my .02!
I race my slower roller for three reasons:
1. It's something completely different than most cars out there.
2. The insuing challenge of doing something only two others have done (on a divisional or national event level), is something I choose to embrace.
3. Since my car is slower, there's less breakage, so my budget is happier.
Trust me though, when I bought this car I was looking at a 4dr Belvedere with a 318 in it. I wish I could've gotten that car too, because I love mopar products (especially Belvedere's, Savoy's, Coronets, and Darts), but I can't afford the bigger engine cars, so I choose to run a small engine/car. It's all about choice....
