All these years I thought having a different combo was cool. Meeting strict guidelines such as winning class while running at least .5 under the index allowed you to play with the big bucks racers. Not anymore.

Instead of flogging a different combination that no one else would even try, everyone needs to race what is currently qualifying quick. Early Camaros, Max Wedge Mopars, and Shelby Mustangs are a little pricey to build. Maybe something like a FI Camaro/Firebird would work. You can pick one of those up fairly cheap. Order the readily available trick parts from key places, follow cookie cutter instructions, and you may go fast enough to get to race at Indy.

Gone are the days of individualism and ingenuity. Long live the cookie cutter racecar!
