Alan, I go racing for personal satisfaction. I apparently, mistakenly assumed that you did also. I must be mistaken.

Your mistaken assumption is that personal satisfaction has to come from racing a slower car or an oddball combination. It does not. I can respect that some people like and enjoy the slower cars and oddball combinations. It is amusing that the respect is not mutual, all things considered.

I go Class racing to try to turn on the win light either heads up or in the eliminator, while blowing as little money as possible,
If I felt "the need for speed" , I'd take a mild 455, stick it in a tin can 10.0 bracket car, stay at my home track and still save money....

MY personal satisfaction comes from doing things that no one has done before not rehashing the SOS. Now maybe it's because I just can't stand to do another Chevy V8 in ANY form but if you're still getting your fix from doing them, you keep up the good work and, above all, enjoy yourself.

I have a super stock 68 Camaro that my son Frank drives, also a 91 Firebird crate motor stocker that I drive and a FWD 79 Dodge Omni stocker that is as slow as a herd of Turtles and I get as much fun out of driving the Omni as I do the other cars. And I have won more money with the Omni than the other cars and that includes 1 national event and 3 national event runnerup and 9 points races with the Camaro. As far as the Firebird it is fast for the class but so far not to much luck in winning. I had planned on running some NHRA races with the Omni in 2011 but when the National Event went to $305.00 I lost interest and did not renew my membership and car number with NHRA that I have had since 1974. BTW 99% of the money won with the Omni was bracket racing, very little won in NHRA and IHRA races.
Just my 2 cents worth. Allen |

I`ve always raced with the main intention of winning. I`ve won Championships with a wide variety of vehicles. I`ve won the Summit National Championship in Super Pro in `03 with a 20 year old dragster,and the Division 5 Stock Championship in `96 with a V/SA Buick Skylark. I`ve enjoyed all win lights,reguardless off what my dial in has been.

I find it unusual that people that have worked hard enough in life to be able to afford a faster car, and enjoy driving a faster car, are the lesser racers here. And guys running lower class cars feel superior for some reason?
