yeappers Larry, I bet we could get a llm on the track and run around at the back for the same money, well not quite, but thats because we didn't have to touch the motor this past year.....

I think ppl think LLM's are a 20,000.00 class when it probably costs twice that to get going, then that to run every year. I know what Cronan told me to get his team up and running and then to run this year, it isn't the kinda money we are interested in spending I can tell you that!

I know you can get in a championship LLM that is older for 15,000 and it needs a 2500.00 body and a motor rebuild to get going....

because thunders is still cost  effective compared to LLM, my family can afford to run a Thunder, we cannot afford a LLM.....I dont wanna race the boring mustang anymore.....

other than I heard this guy spent this much and those guys spent that  does any of you boys have an idea o fix these problems and still have a class that can be a reasonable amount of cash and still be fast as a V-8  thunder ..............I think a light car with a good tire are key to this.......................anyone???

It's tough, light car, wide tire, lots of safety equipment, about 280 HP, then what? The 9 inch makes things way better, but maybe put in a rule "no aftermarket 9 inches, must come off a vehicle" I am not sure what the answer is.
