From what is see in racing today .... My friend Own & operates a drag car building operation .... Sheppard Race Cars ....... He's main biz right now & for last few yrs. has been Outlaw 10.5 cars ..... speaking to him the other day he says he off this year by 40%.
If you can make a paycheck from racing right now - God Bless.

I won't say things haven't slowed a lot.Because they surely have.But the sell-out's of incomplete cars and the pricing on them has gotten to a point it is a buyers market.As long as you rebuild a documented winner.........the resale is still there.It is a major point of all this is buying it right in the first place.Turning winners over for a profit and loving each one of them.

I used to have 1 race car.
I quit racing and now I have 4 muscle cars, 2 street rods, 1 rat rod, 1 restoration, 4 projects waiting, a boat and a Harley!
