[The Hawk]

First off,thanks for the kind words Kandra. Most of what you mentioned regarding the Buick is correct,the stall the car had without the 2 step would go to about 3300 and start rolling. I`ve seen so many people post here saying that this is stock,these cars didn`t come with 2 steps,get rid of `em and make this a foot brake class again. That`s the least of what should be brought up concerning these cars to be called "stock". You show me a late model Firebird that came with a TH200 tranny,so quit saying "this is stock",cause that`s a bull**** reason. What about the $5000 sets of heads that are out there? That sounds awfully high for something that`s "stock". It was mentioned that a lot of racers could run a lower classed car and do well as opposed to buiding a higher classed car,most people like to do the chasing. Don`t forget,Scotty Richardson did extremely well with an O/SA car for a while about 10 years ago. Finally,I don`t know how it`s figured that slow racers are leaving off of the second bulb,or whatever,but I`ve always left on the last amber,with everything from 15 second cars to 21 second cars(deep staging was required for the real slow stuff). I don`t follow the tree down,I stare at the last bulb. NHRA`s decision to do this has come at a perfect time,I need a new motor,so the Skyhawk will get a bracket motor for for now,and maybe in a few years,I`ll come back. They can keep the $250 entry fee a will lose since I had to withdraw from the Mile Highs,maybe go to Starbucks and buy the Saftey Safari a round of coffee. I`m done. It`s been real. "The Hawk"
