Also Bruce if my dad wanted to finance myself or my brothers racing while we were in collage that was his choice. If you can afford to help your kids out more power to you. I know I could not have afforded it 4 years ago. I bet Andrew feels the same way.
How many new cars fit into D/SA? I think that is a class dominated by old 1960's combos

Charley,
Let's get a few facts straight. My car was a regular production car. Anybody with $18,000.00 could have built the same car and some did. I still owned and raced that car when I started the factory experimental thread on this site which was the first post about the bogus new cars. I have no problem with your father financing your racing but I do have a problem with you telling me how to invest money in my car when you are basically catching a free ride. I think your father deserves a lot of credit.
And this discussion is still about bogus HP factors on your car and others. No matter how hard you try to mix things up out here, it's not about me or my car. It's about nhra and the oem's cheating the very racers who have supported both the nhra and the oem's for more than 40 years. It's cut throat behavior.
You missed two very fast mustangs at Indy that did not win class. They were dominating the older cars but suffered issues before taking their respective classes. One of them was in D/SA. Check it out.
