Another ss/gt ?

Danny, there have been times, including right now, where we've had to just stop. Take a deep breath. Take a night, or a weekend, or even a weekend, off. Away. Then come back, take "inventory", evaluate, and even call friends for help. We still don't know what we've got. We're probably going to take it and a relatively untested B/SA stocker to the two day combo at Bowling Green next weekend, just to get some passes on them, and see if we've "fixed" either one, or made progress.

We actually went through this with the orange car in Stock. In fact, this year, fighting with the "evil green Super Stocker as Kevin calls it, every so often, Kevin and I look at each other, and one of us will say "the stocker has spoiled us for a couple of years, how soon we forget the first two YEARS with that car were a constant struggle".

And it (the orange 69 Camaro stocker) was a complete running car that had been campaigned with relative success by Peter Biondo. The first two years, we struggled at every single race, just to be marginally competitive and somewhat consistent. There were times we went past half season with zero progress.
