If you want to play be prepared to pay. Going fast cost big money in anything from an AMC to a chevy. I can’t tell you how many of my friends broke their Chevies last year. Many have two cars to keep going. Other beg, borrow, and steal cars to make the next big money event. You know the old story. Run 11’s pay me now. Run 9’s, 8’s, 7’s, keep on paying. I just finished up 5 years on an engine that can run 9.40’s and felt blessed it lasted that long. Reason number one is my class runs 1/8 mile at every track I race at. Reason number two, although I race a lot I don’t win a lot. Winning is hard on parts. Lol.
