Criteria used for picking car

OR

You could just go out and subscribe to Nitro Joes Stats and see what the fast combos are..........

Look at national records.......

If you want to run a combo that nobody runs, you will have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince.....

Don't build a class car. Build a bracket car that is legal for class racing. You will get far more bang for your buck. Don't spend all your money trying to build the fastest car in the class. There will always be someone else with an agenda and more money than you. Build a car that will hook in the mud and it's cheap to race.. Something that you can bracket race on $3.00 a gallon pump gas. Forget about the 69 Camaro with the rat. Pick something that is in the second half of the alphabet. Much cheaper, more durable. Something that you are not afraid to hot lap and race every weekend at your local track. Forget about the little trophy on Friday. Build something that will land the big trophy on Sunday. Your race car is a tool that you use to turn on a win light. Your mileage may vary. Best of luck to you with whatever you choose.

For me it's building a car I like !
Much easier to spend money and time on a car that you really want to have.
I don't care how fast it is a long as it's under the index, heck I could always bracket race it.
Why do you think there are so many '69 Camaros, no Plymouth Valiants or AMC Hornets for me
