Pat,

You and G-rule are absolutely correct. Lot's of things are not the same. Sure doesn't mean you can't have a load of fun racing heads up against another enthusiast trying to nail an index. Just watch those A guys trying to hit a 7:60! If we detune to 11.6 we can run the E gas class. Or, just run Hotrod bracket. Also, put on the M/T ET Street tires, and run Wednesday night fun drags up at Sac. Three types of racing with one car.
The point for Mr Dago Red is that there is lots of fun racing, at the beginner level and affordable.
