Do you really need to go fast to enjoy S,S/S racing?

This comment about sums it up.Dial a bit hard, drill the tree(no red light),if the AA car passes you at 1250 feet, you know he's gone!! In 1992, I bought a 68 Chevelle Malibu 2 door hardtop for $500.00(these are all gone now!!)restored the car, paint, interior, wiring, weatherstrips,etc. put a 12 bolt in it with 5.38's, a used but good 1.98 Powerglide, a C-8 converter,and a basic 327 250 horse engine. On some Firestone tires, this car went 13.0's at Palmdale on a 13.38 index. I kept the costs down because I originally planned on putting a 396 in it. We.., I still run the 327 and the 396 stuff is still in the corner.Since then, I've built another two door hardtop, a wagon,a four door for Tony Janes, sold him the #1 car,built the second hard top for me, and built another 2 door for my son to drive to high school and his first year of junior college, got it back, took it to Tony's, who took it to Phil Mandella's, and it's 90% done as a SS/LA car. I think we've had fun with our slow cars.I'll go faster when this gets old.
