Just looking for ideas.

This is exactly what I think it should be but unfortunately Mr. Jim I don't see this ever happening.

Correct...!
Money does pays for Knowledge Ed...!!
Like a $25,000 Stock Eliminator Engine with special everything.
Like a $10,000 Transmission and Converter
Like a $5000 Rear
Like Special Built Shocks
REM BLUED Bearings

Most just bolt them on.
Few have the knowledge or experience how to do these.
Want to go fast?
You go to the specialist.
AND they want to be paid for their Knowledge.

Pretty soon a $1000 shell costs $35000 to build.
If you add the Hourly Rate we put into building the car.
We have a Boat !!

Dan, not everybody just buys high dollar engines. Some know how to build their own.

Ed;
Just about everyone sends their stuff out to a machine shop.
Unless they are an engine machinist.
Most can put the pieces together.
Fewer rebuild transmissions.

Then again a newby has a learning curve.
All about the money.

100 lbs of lead will save ya. Like cooter said I mean what Kenny Rodgers said
Please. For Indy put the same 1.20 hit back on and the ahfs will work. Like it should

Not sure about this. People will make 1000 foot deals. Done it before.

My 1000' deal "Have a safe race to the finish line".

And I guess your Pure Stock car was built for under $20000. ?
Sorry you spent your money on the wrong car.
You now can’t race but a few places.
Keep throwing stones at accomplished NHRA class racers.
You will continue to get treated like the dope you are.
I myself think your delusional cause you mistakenly think you are relevant
Flame on. By the way can you qualify for a sanctioned Nhra race.?
Asking for a friend. ��

Sean I’m talking about Indy. The Big Go.
Nobody lays down at Indy.
It’s the only race where every soft combo goes and shows off
because they can get away with a 1.20 under hit.
It would make the ahfs work like it should

[rboyle]

I agree with James, Indy should help get some AHFS squared away. A class win there is prestigious enough for most.

Wow you just hate the facts..
Only Stones being throw are from you..and you are not a very good shot!
But I am good tossing them back....
Will improve that scowl you have on your face !

FWIW I have raced my Impala since 2000.
Some of us have real jobs..and do what you can.

As for racing ..I can attend SS/S Assoc meet anywhere on the planet.
AND YES I can qualify for a Sanctioned NHRA Race in Canada.
As they will accept Pure Stockers and other IHRA cars.

So go cry another river Perrone'

Like I said before
I take my money and spend it where my business is wanted.
AND if that just burns you up I can toss in some hot sauce !
