By DS do you mean D/PRO, which is the stock body same engine family as factory, I.E 260/289/302/351 type motors? If I remember the record is 200+ MPH in D/PRO and that results in a long course run of 7 miles or so. To be competitive, if could get real expensive, real fast. If you live close enough try El Mirage (SCTA) as the records are lower, 7 or 8 meets a year and only 1.3 miles to the traps. Check out the SCTA/BNI web site for more current info as mine is 4 or 5 years old. My time has passed, (retired, no moola$), but I too have entertained dreams of going fast. Due partly to the fact there is no prize money, you will find some of the nicest people on earth running at B-Ville and El Mirage. Visit and ask questions. Good luck.
