I've been playing with mopars for 15 years. Always B and C body street cars, none terribly fast, and most of my racing knowledge is what I got from my dad, which is about 20 years out of date. But, I feel the need for speed.

I think I'd like to be in the 11's or 12's.
I can't get excited about A-Bodies. Nothing short of "stealing" one would get me in one. Yes, I know they weigh the least.
I don't want to mess with a tow vehicle, I want to drive it to the track.

I'm thinking 66-67 B-body with a Big Block.

supposing I was to start with this car,

what more would I need to spend to be in that time area? Should I go bracket racing or try to pick a class? I have various parts laying around and plenty of know-how. I'm kind of a loner and don't have any friend at the local track to get started, but then I'm not certain I'm going to do it. I think maybe I'm combo fishing and armchair dreaming a little, but what better place to start than here?

I think it would be cheapest to buy a body or race car that someone is tired of, but they seem few and far between.
