I will give you my story and it might make you feel better. A couple of years ago I took my bracket car down to be dyno tuned. While I was there the owner of the shop took me to his house and showed me his super stocker. Right then decided to build a stocker instead of the super pro car I had been planning. I have been working on it for a couple of years now while still bracket racing when life did not get in the way. This spring I was 99% done and was ready to go make some test runs and planned to run a couple of local bracket events with it before I went to a div. race. Then may 25 my shop and home took a direct hit from a tornado for the second time in less than 5 years. Among many many other things the car was destroyed. Three months later I am still sick when I think about it. It could have been alot worse nobody was hurt and we so far seem to have plenty of insurance. Two of my neighbors homes were not so lucky. I just keep telling myself to keep digging and sooner or later I will get there. The bad part is untill my shop is rebuilt next year I am somewhat unemployed. So I have a ton of time on my hands to build another car. The really bad part is I have no shop to build it in LOL. One of these days I am going to run stock just not this year but mark my words I will one day.There is always something that gets in my way of getting it done just so happens this year for me it was a F2 but you name it over the last couple of years it was always something holding me up. You have to just keep digging till you get there.
