[The Hawk]

I`ll answer Ed`s question,then I`m done with this thread. I have spent money on my car the last several years. A few years ago,I went through a tranny problem that occured after I had someone freshen it,I basically sat out the entire year in Stock,and I had an NHRA Gold Card from winning the Summit Super Pro Nat`l Championship the season before. After that season,I`ve worked on getting the chassis upgraded,new springs,shocks etc.,just to get it up to date,and it did help the car`s consistancy. Finally,after 7 seasons on a motor I built,I decided to purchase a motor this spring,and unfortunately,it was good for about 60 passes before it spun a rod bearing. I think I`ve spent close to $4000 in the last few years,and now have a car that won`t run. I know some people think my combo is a good combo to go fast,but I can only afford what I can do myself,and from what I know. There have been a couple of other Stock racers that have offered help,and I do appreciate it greatly,but before I start over this winter,I`ll have to see what happens with the new rules proposals,and go from there.
