House of Darts, I don't think it would be a waste. As others have stated, it can be done. It all depends on what you are after and how hard you want it. Am I out there now? No. Just another armchair stock racer. But I have bracket raced a few times over the years and now have decided to put together a stocker and join in the fun. Would I like a higher classed car ( my favs are the early Camaro / Chevy II ) as my choice ? Wheels up launches? You bet ! But I am starting out in the lower classes with my 75 Starfire V6, not only because I think it would be less expensive ( if that is possible ) but because you have to start somewhere ( and I love the body style ) . Plus if you put your mind to it, I believe with time it would be just as much fun as the upper class cars. Plus by changing engine / year I could go from V/SA with the V6 to making it a 77 with a 305 and go all the way to O/SA ( figuring in the fact of going up or down to the next class ). So this gives me a lot of options. But I will be shooting for V/SA and just see how much fun everybody else is having. And thats what I believe it is about, having fun. And a few wins would be nice,
