This thread really reinforces something that I have noticed about drag racing in general and stock in particular:getting to the track with a car that is ready to run is 99% of the battle. It took me a few years to figure out why I my hair would stand on end when someone would say something like "I'll just put a 440 in it and go run tens" or "If someone would just let me run their car I'd win for sure". This crazy sport that we're hooked on is tough!

So pat yourself on the back, you're almost there. As Nietzche said "whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger..."

Good luck,

PS I just got my wagon back on the track after a two year "vacation" and it was worth the wait!
