Default Re: Top Day 2 Musclecars?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: EZ Nova</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Like I said earlier, BB Vega with &quot;period&quot; parts will be the car to beat! Motion had a 454 Vega &quot;offered&quot; in 1970/1971 before &quot;the man&quot; stopped them.

So you start with what could be an 800+Hp BBc into a Vega? Then there are so many other factors that 99% of the people never think of? But guys like myself and my friend, when it comes to heads up racing, go that extra to get ever .001&quot; of a second? So what happens when you got a guy that has THE WILL, THE DOLLARS AND THE SMARTS to do whatever it takes to be the top dog. My friend, Butch Kemp is a perfect example. NA10.5 or Ultra Street SB ON MOTOR that can run 4.72 LAST YEAR. He does whatever it takes to make sure that he has done his homework and prepared to the best of his ability once that car come to the line.

We also had another guy. His DAD wanted to run 8.90 INDEX in the local series. He went out and bought him a CURRENT NHRA Pro Stock roller from Kenny Kuretsky and a new 572 GM crate motor. $75,000.00 ROLLER to run 8.90 and win $1,000.00??? 2 weeks before he got the roller, Kenny was running it in Pro Stock.

Heads up will also be a very tough and therefore expensive class, not matter what people say. And the more rules, the more the cost goes up. </div></div>

The good thing about it is that anyone who can afford a Pure Stock Drags car should be able to race in Day 2 and Day 3 with a modest outlay of cash. Being competitive in Day 4 could be expensive, but it sure would be fun to watch!
