Nice car, but so much wrong

Also people like to say how fast Joel Rosen's cars went. Why did he only run AHRA and not NHRA?

Why not run Nhra? I think the local tracks were affiliated with AHRA. Suffolk County was AHRA. And I believe the Hamptons on Long Island may have been also. Not sure about New York International. No one knows the exact reason Joel did not run the national nhra circuit. I don't think he even ran the AHRA circuit out of his area for that matter. Joel probably felt he did not have to. I would say the majority of his cars sold or were converted to people in the immediate surrounding states.

BTW: The New York mags that heavily promoted Motion (other than HiPerformance Cars) were just that, regional mags that portrayed the New York scene. Every car ever featured or show coverage was from one of the New York burroughs it seemed like. Up until ebay and the internet I met people out of other regions of the country who had never heard of Hot Cars, Rodding & Super Stock, Super Street Cars, Chevy Power and Chevy Action.
