So Bill...once you get this rule to your liking, will you race a S/SS car? Is this what it takes for you to race?
What will you build or buy?

[Ed Wright]

Think he's building a slant six bracket car?

I am too old and infirm to take the beating that campaigning an NHRA Stocker would provide me, given all the travel involved, to say nothing of the travel expense, BUT that is surely what I'd do if I had the physical wherewithall to get it done right, because that's where my heart is.

Instead, I have a Bracket car that I race at a local track (when I have the time, and am able), a Vortech, low boost... 10 psi) 360 Magnum-powered '72 Valiant 4-door that goes mid elevens @118 mph, and am partners in a new, experimental slant six-powered 1964 Valiant that will be a high-boost (30+ pounds) turbocharged car that is stilll being put together at my racing partner's garage. It's (as well as my other, supercharged car) run under the same starting-line protocol as a Stocker would, so I am subject to a first red light rule, just like everybody else, until it is changed (if it ever is.... doubtful.) Here are some pix of these cars and their engines, That's me in the white coat...

Thanks for your interest!

You and everybody else who has read through this looooong and drawn out subject know my thoughts on this subject.What annoys me the most is that if the rule is changed in S/SS racing it doesn't affect you at all.If you want this rule changed for something that directly affects you then go on all the bracket racing sites and go to the top of the mountain and rage for all you're worth.
I don't go on NASCAR sites and tell them I think having foreign car makes in NASCAR bites.Because it does.It's their deal and they do what they want.
And besides who gives a flying flock what I have to say?

Nice Cars/engines Bill!

I wonder if Kevin Helms and Jerry Emmons would be for the "first or Worst rule" right about now. Roy Hill was the lucky recipient in both cases, and he should go to a driving school near home, or .....

Jerry

I kinda doubt it. Emmons and Helms are experienced enough racers to realize that they do not need an excuse for the fact that they were red and lost.
