Shawn, I still plan to run the stocker, but am hesitant in spending money on stuff that could face heavy de-value if class racing takes a nose dive.

Doug you've said what I keep thinking...spend it wisely!!!

Tom, I called this one 3 years ago...credit is a drug.. use it wisely or it becomes poison. Good lenders are like doctors and pharmacists, where most other financial institutions had become like drug dealers (anyone know about the skeletons in Mike Ashley's closet

!!??).

I definately would like to downsize from the vehicles and spare parts in my possession and focus on one race car. Most of the stuff is for the '65, which is a family heirloom I refuse to give up. My options would be to sell off the spares for the '65, 3 other vehicles, mothball the '65, and pour the money into the stocker. The other option is sell the stocker along with the other vehicles and some of the '65 stuff, update the '65 for sub-9 sec rules and install an FE motor to run NSS and Nostalgia A/FX match racing. My heart has always been in class racing, so I guess you could say I'm looking for a good excuse to sell the stocker.
