In my case, if and when the car thing gets overwhelming, I slim it down - sounds like a lot of hot rods, expensive & fast, to juggle.

Most of the guys I used to race with are gone, and when I moved 20 years ago, it was just me and the low-10-sec car as far as drag racing.
And the tow was pretty crappy. Eventually I felt I just needed to pull back, and do a street/strip slower car (less maintenance & expense).
I moved again, to where there's a nicer track fairly close by, and am building the "slow car" that should be a more casual effort.

I'm 63 and have been considering selling my Dart for a couple years now. It's a pump gas street/strip deal that I initially bracket raced for a few years, I started with a 340 running 7.20's, then a 408 running 6.50's to the current 434 running 6.20's. When the heads up street car stuff started, and I ran it and did well for a couple years. The car is naturally aspirated and does well if I'm running other naturally aspirated cars and there lies the rub. For the last few years, the local tracks have lumped all the cars together, power adders and non power adders. My last race I made the 16 car field, there was one other n/a car in the class. I made it down to four cars, the other three were blown late model Mustangs. That was two years ago and the cars are much faster now so my small block would be fodder for the power adder cars.

I don't care to bracket race and rarely drive the car now. It requires very little maintenance, an oil change and run the valves once a year and it's ready to go. The plugs last for several years, it doesn't get hot or have any issues on the street. I just think it's time to move on or for a change. The only reason I haven't tried to sell it is because I don't want to deal with the idiots that have no serious intentions about buying it.

I'm thinking I'd like to have a nice mid 70's to a mid 80's short wheel base truck with a/c or a later 6.4l Challenger.
