Also anyone thinking a younger person is going to want to do some "junior stock throwback" on a budget is delusional. Whether or not you do a dime rocket in the theoretical way such as Billy Nees or do the dime rocket Indy number one qualifier way such as Larry Hill and myself, it's still the economical way to get a great goal. There are some younger people coming into the sport in their own as I did but they are far and few between. There is very little instant gratification in many of these slow cars. Try to find store bought parts for what Mark Yacavone's ride or better yet a 273 2 barrel.

This needs to get back on track with the new dime rocket not why young people don't want to get into a retro junior stock war.
