I did a massive response to this last nite THEN my phone battery went POOF and lost it all.....

I did fairly well back in the late 70's to early/mid 80's .... probably NETED about 15k$ total with a Bracket 2 car ... a 440 in a Belvedere wagon THEN my glass biz required A TON of my time.

THEN there is now ... I found a 27 Roadster on eBay - local to me Ft Lauderdale (the old Gary Harwood TRICK Comp eliminator car - supposedly weighs something like 1700 pds with a BBC) then I was waiting for a Bud that does chassis work to put in a LEGAL cage ... THEN I start spectating at the local track.

DAYummm .... in the footbrake class YOU BEST put together a package of 002-005 REGULARY ... or you don't get past second round very often !

THATS no fun !!! ... so the car sits !

My take ... if I cant AT LEAST break even on a pure race car I wont do it. My two other options are .... a dinosaur S/C FED that I picked up in Seattle jsta as a FUN CAR at test and tune OR a streeter RWD CarrotVan.
