To be frank, it's much closer to the way the combo was produced than the class cars of today. That stuff would have wound up in the trash at Barton's, but It's reliable and it's fun, which is exactly why I do it. I have no interest at all to get into my retirement for a trick 727 with 904 innards, or a $4K "must have converter". I know of a couple of Ford Stockers that race with you that have more in their cylinder heads than I do in my entire combo. Great for those who want that, but I just want to have some fun, race the car I've owned since 1969, and hang on to yesterday for a while.

Look, if you guys don't want us around, that's OK, too. I can sit home and watch football and be just as happy. I don't need the politics and fighting that you guys do. At this age, it's a waste of my time.

Well put, Steve. Well put. Go out and have some fun and keep them old racecars running.
