[old5.0]

The shame of it is that most of the collectable value is made form what they did on the streets, or at least that is my perception. I never realy was aware of much that they acheived in any type of formal racing. </div></div>

Well, they were fairly successful in NMCA. And of course there was the old AMRA and the current NMRA. They never had much of a presence in NHRA, but that doesn't surprise me. Logically, why spend 50 grand (or more) building a competitive NHRA class car, when you can spend 10 grand or less on a blower and a good H/C/I set up, run 10's and drive it to work every day?

I don't see establishing their reputation on the streets as a negative, though. It seemed to work well for the Motion cars. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
