Ya know Chuck, there are very few Racers making any money at this anymore but there are plenty of fine, intelligent, friendly people to be found in this sport (oops, hobby). The friendships and camaraderie that I have felt and seen over the years still makes dealing with the NHRA worth it!

Jump in the pool! The water's fine. But maybe don't start by jumping in the deep end!

The shallow end of stock is deeper than expected, but is refreshing!!!

I would say it’s deep for any class to run near the top. We all have pretty much the same expenses. They may drop off a little for fewer cylinders and they may be a little higher for scarcity or collectible value. So I always say build something you like instead of something you think you can afford.

There is really no advantage in SG running high MPH. Its all about the package. Better tree and closer to the dial wins every time. Its a numbers game. Dial It, Cut it, drive it!!!

I think you should look in the guide to what best suits what you want to do/afford/etc. What you DON'T do is take a car you are emotionally attached to and try and make it a stocker!! (ask how I know, lol!!)

You’ve got that right, search for a good rolling or running car. Starting from scratch you end up spending ridiculous amounts of money. I spent what I consider to be quite a lot but I still haven’t reached the deep end yet.
