I love seeing guys with financial backing building things the right way.

I've seen guys with tons of financial backing throw their money away because their impulsiveness gets the best of them.

You mean the guy with the most money in their car doesn't always win?

Very true! I had a super gas nova with a $3500 BB full of swap meet parts and junk no one wanted. Just gotta know what works and just keep tweeking it little by little. Ive seen guys spend major $$ and change 8 things at once and gain nothing. Oh and yea that nova ran 9.85 on the motor all out no throttle stop. I remeber a friend summed up bracket racing to me once "Ive never seen so much money spent to go so slow" 9 sec. cars throttled down to run 10.90s. sad

My Point is the same as yours, the man that started this thread was looking for the complete package. A proven combination. and not looking at throwing cash in the Wrong places... there is Nothing Wrong with wanting the Best.



there is another thread in the Tech forum with a simular theme.

I'm definitely going to do one car with Anderson, but he doesn't want the car until the fall since I'm doing a full car build. I'd say this time NEXT year will be the time to post pics of the car.
