Racers look here to help a newbie -Thanks

if you are building a drag car from scratch and want to go into the 9's or lower at some point spend the money now and build a tube chassic car. by the time you spend all the money upgrading your current chassic you will almost be there.
If you are going to run on a budget follow the advice above. I you want to change the front end or back half the car it is easier to do it all at one time with a full frame.
