Its either spend the $$$$ to do what everyone else is doing.......work on it if you can do your own work.....race a combo that has a resonable HP raiting not one that you just like.......get NHRA to refactor your combo (not one everyone else is running) down so you can slide into a lower class.......really cheat.....bracket race (its what you do anyway 99% of the time)....or watch TV. There are no "GIMMIES" in the real world. The guys who are fast today will still be the ones who are fast tomorrow......learn what to do and still pass tech.......dont live in a fairy tell land and make it your passion to become a bad ***.......if you cant afford to run with the big dogs then your not going to qualify for INDY anyway even if the indexes are softer. 128 car fields are it in NHRA. I guess Im up to 5 cents worth of BS by now.

P.S. I almost forgot my 66 Corvette in E/SP (remember that class?) but it was not a dedicated serious effort. I was still "trapped" in Uncle Sams grips while stationed in Ft. Knox Ky so I have raced at Ohio Valley and Hardinsburg U.S. 60, an outlaw track in Louisville (forgot the name), and Lexington dragway also in Ky.
