10's on $5,000 ?

well, different cars for different purposes. A dedicated bracket car for me would be worthless. I'm not a gambler, so I wouldn't pay to try and win the purse. I make it to the strip every so often, so having a car that saw the trailer every so often to make a few 1/4 passes, well, rather pointless.
Putting on the wrinkle walls on Friday night and grabbing a STEAK before you do some back road test and tune is fun too. :D
