Two problems here.

By bogus combo, I assume you mean it's not a belly button 302 , 305, 350 car.
For the record here, it's hp/weight. You either pick the best one, or follow the leader, and bubble pack your way through Stock Eliminator..Actually the phrase "bogus combo" is kind of insulting.

Next, it takes about 3600 travel miles to get 6 gp's from PHX. You can figure out the entry fees..Or, you can run the local LODRS., get your g.p. , race our local 6 race series for same day cash, save your vacation time, and round trip it to Indy, which is about the same distance as mentioned earlier.
Once at Indy, you get to run against the best, at the most prestigious race on the circuit, for a few bucks of class money. Pick your poison.
Again , I don't see the problem.
