Hang in there Charger, the 55 did on a shoestring budget and a prayer, mind you his skills in driving did improve quite a bit. Money isn't everything in racing, being good at handling your car and the set up can do more for you in a race than any amount of money can buy. My God, an 88 Subaru automatic taking the championship, I am sure going to miss that car.......

when i say "buying a win" thats "a" div some of those car have as much into them as some top running thunder cars... as written by Charger
Stop with the money comments, We have been accused of the money thing once or twice and i will tell you our secret... Library cards are FREE, it is all about the research so i guess it isn't "buying a win", it's "reading a win"

There is only Two Big different in the two classes.. and it was made for this reason...

Charger was made for the beginners and for the people that just want to race to have fun and not "Dump" alot of money into a Car Aka Can't Afford to dump alot into a car.

Where as in the 4 Cyl Class it's supposed to be competitive and for people that are willing to Dump the money into it...

Great Example of this is 63 and 64 Both 4 Cyl.
Now Dave (64) likes to just go out there and give it hell for fun and I fully understand why he decided to go to charger so he could support Brandon (63) Car which was in the 4 Cyl Class Fully, I have seem nights where dave would totally forgot about his car and work on Brandon just to get it back out to be COMPETITIVE where Dave didn't really sweat getting his car out because he was only in it for fun..
And that's the real different in the two class the level of which you wanted to play at?
Competitive or Fun is the only real decision.

I would also like to add that as Research does come Free, The parts that are researched May not be free.

Anyone know who drove the Dodge Charger to the championship years ago and how to get a hold of him. Think it was #77, not sure he moved up to latemodels right after. I see the person that bought it, is selling it and I wanted some info, thanks. Also any info on the Dodge Charger #13 that ran since that is also for sale.
You can send it private. Thanks again.

i really think this was already touched on earlier in this thread, however i don't honestly remember pointing at one team in particular imho the whole div has gone to having to spend too much money on their cars just to run mid pack.
but again this is just my opinion

IMO i dont think that the costs for the 4 cyl class have been blown out of porportion at all. Some of you Mustang guys have about $5000 in your motors. Dont try to deny it. To build my car cost about half what those motors do, and let me remind you it won 7 features between sunset and sauble last year. The problem is not money. The problem is some people refuse to drive anything besides a 25 year old 8 valve mustang and the reality is our rules package allow you to drive much quicker cars that come right off the assembly line ready to go. I dont have anything against anyone im just saying if you have such a problem with the cost buy a 12 valve car and see how much less you spend. I wouldnt be suprised if Barrie allowed 16 valve cars next year and trust me that will just drive costs even further for the 8 valve cars.If i would put 6500 bucks in a race car i can ssure it would be a competetive used thunder car instead of a 4 cylinder
