I know I am glad for my new engine and I think you will be very pleased when you are behind or ahead of the leaders by a very small amount because of the new engines power. I think my setup pulls as hard as Bad Penny did last year but now that has changed and Steve has even more power and better gears, it was my gearing that gave me an edge and now that is gone.
Good thing I am only in this for the fun, thinking I can compete is futile to my budget. Now if they made a class that said the owner had to do most all of the work , 90% or more,I would get my ass handed to me by you still but I might actually be in the top five instead of the top 35,lol. There also might only be you,me and Matt,Randy,Herb and a couple of others. I personally would like to see that kind of class made to bring the reality of our skills count rather than the $$$$ spent. It could even be divided by the amount of $$$ invested. The under $50,000 cars would be a good dividing line that seperates us? More cars will allow more classes as we grow !
LET'S JUST GO HAVE FUN !!!!!!
