Sad that francecar will never ever have a productive single car team / owner , Kulwicki , Marcis , D. Walltrip , Ricky Rudd or the Bodines , those days are sadly gone in most of all motorsports , but drag racing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They Sure Do !! Most of the dirt tracks in Michigan are done for the season. Drivers made the trek to Boon Iowa for some action / cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd spend a bit more money and get one of those instead. Nearest track that runs Legends is 2 hours away. I've seen a couple for sale in the $6000-8000 range. The most popular divisions for cheap cars seems to be Mini stocks, Bone stocks or Pure stocks. I'm not sure on the differences but 3 tracks within 1.5 hours run those and they are for sale for $1500-5000. There seems to be plenty of them around. A Pro4 was not on my radar but.......the guy selling it is a die hard and lives 5 minutes from my house. He's available for advise and parts. Between Him and his son they currently have 8 complete cars and 4 parts cars. Also, the track is only 45 minutes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 3 of them at one time. They are easy to work on, reliable, and affordable. Plus, the rules are consistent. We'd seriously maybe spend 30 minutes to a hour going over the car between races if shit wasn't torn up. And the racing is almost always close if you can draw decent numbers for the class.

Here's how I see it Dave. I don't get in to the politics so I don't really see Jim acting any different in here than he normally does. There are a few threads on this site that I think we all try to keep the politics side of this site out of, this is one of them. Hell, if it wasn't for these type of threads I wouldn't even bother coming here very often.
