G/SA Current Record

Ed, it has nothing to with logic, it is the reality of life. My car is in same same boat as yours and I don't plan on changing it any time soon. We all race our cars for different reasons. Some because they are emotionally attached to it, others because it's all they can afford and others because they want the latest-greatest.

But you have to accept that in racing, if you don't keep up you will be left behind. I just don't feel that everyone has a right to be competitive just because you made a previous investment in your car.

Jim, you don't need $100,000 to race or win in Stock. But basically every HP rating is bogus. Do you think a 440 Mopar rated just over 400 makes that number, no it makes about 600-plus. Same for my small-block Ford, so what does it matter?

No one would ever build a new car if the hp rating wasn't favorable.
