Hey Larry,
No plans for a GS or Dayton etc... I raced for a living several years ago (drag racer) and over the years became close to many other racers. Those that are still racing have migrated to cars that are NOW paid to run. We are all much older but still addicted to big HP and speed. Campaigning a fuel car is damned expensive and impossible without good sponsorship and is a demanding life anyway.
The old dogs have found if you run a exhibition car you can choose how many weeks on the road and do not have to hammer parts etc... If you run (jet cars, fuel altered or now the Nostalgia fuel funny's) you get paid tow money - show money - and for each pass win loose or draw. These cars are not competition legal so you get booked in for x amount of passes.
Either way you can get your speed and adrenalin fix without going broke trying to just make the next round like the old days! Make your passes and then go home. But the old bodies are impossible to find anymore. You can get the new slippery fast bodies but they are all new car designs and not the bricks that kinda looked like a street car.
We have dusted off a few of the old bodies from the 70's that have been hanging from the rafters somewhere for the past 35+ years and knocking off a copy. Reminds me of my old days, thinking about doing a Cobra inspired funny body. What ya think?
