Anybody here running local "points" with a slow bracket car?

When I started racing.... days after getting my licence at 16 I would race the truck we towed the express down with. It was an 87 Ram that was a slant but we swapped in a 360. I ran in the 17's and raced street. I won the class and still have the trophy in the first race I ever entered... I still think that's pretty cool. I was a kid, it was slow, but it was a blast going rounds. It wouldn't get into third before the strip so I would shift into second and turn around on the bench seat and look out the back window watching the other guy gain on me. If the race was at night I would put my 4 ways on cause I figured my flashing lights passing by his tree would be a distraction... dick move but I was a kid... Went to the bracket finals in PA and made it three rounds in the high school class before some 30 yr old spanked me in his grand national...

I year ago at our local Mopar race I ran my 2013 4.7 Ram and runnered up... that was a blast, like I was 16 again. I won the event this year being one of the faster in the class with my Dart.
