many troll these forums just like you looking for the naïve, clueless and easily impressed to hook and make a sale. Looks like you've found one...inferno camaro. Too bad, he's not smart enough to smell the bullshyt sales pitch you're feeding him but he's his own worst enemy, knows nothing, bought a car that way beyond his skill, knowledge, capabilities and he's mostly on yb asking question after question for 2 years.

You weren't born knowing anything about drag racing either.

Hot Rod magazine must've made a lot $$ tutoring you, from the looks of your tech.

and now the cone killer is walking back his comment about this car running in the 4's.

Inferno, the best advice I can give you is to disregard everything this guy advises you to do. If you don't you deserve the fucing you will get along with the wasted time and $.

I won the SummerNationals in 1988 in S/G

Car was freshly painted and was not decal-ed up as much as one could be.

I lost about $1200-1500 in contingencies from companies that did not pay even though I had their products and wrote letters of explanations to those companies.

I did collect about $11,000 and won about $13,000 that year in 8 races.

A friend won S/ST at the Springnationals at Columbus and told me he collected $15,000

A points race win was worth around $5000

1988 dollars

A really stickered up car could win 15-20 for a “Major” National Event.

The events always had the contingency payouts posted previous to the event.

Who was paying, for what and how much.

The bigger races were considered Major events and had 2 pages of Contingency payout info in National Dragster weeks before the event.

I could easily have collected $15,000+for that win and trust me I was aware of it as the rounds went by. I almost jumped the fence in the lanes to get decals I knew I needed with only a couple rounds left.

Back then many sponsors were happy you had their decals and paid without any proof that you had the products claimed.

I was featured in a number of ads after winning and one half page ad was for something I had and they paid ZERO.

That was definitely the golden era of NHRA racing! For at least another 10 years after that as well.
