scott/ fossil brigade
Be absolutly smitten with speed , blissfully unaware of the trials and
tribulations ahead, and totaly delusional about your perceived abilities
choose a class that nobody has dared try before ie open, set yourself an
outrageous goal/speed ( none of this BS about friendly competition the
competition is against your inflated ego) tie your other hand behind your
back and use the smallest capacity engine you think will do the job and half
it ,have no skill, tools ,time ,spare cash and a family hostile to your
pathetic efforts, friends who think your a loony tune and a social pariah
among your business associates.

Subject: RE: Why I Picked My LSR Class
Scott & List,
I started LSR just a few years ago cause a dingbat from Alabama came by
our shop and perked my interest. Went to see Maxton in my Suburban and
ended up running it that day (132 MPH). Tried a couple of drag cars,
didn't work, bought a Busch Grand National T'Bird, crashed it a couple
of times (at 200+MPH) and have now run it at B'Ville (226 MPH) but for
(TO) time only (not class legal). Bought the Bird cause it was safe,
cheap and fast. Now have bought a Merkur, previous LSR car with hopes of
bringing it into the Two Club this August. Bought the Merkur cause it's
class legal, been to B'Ville and was a good deal. There's lots of good
LSR deals out there with a lot of good engineering at short dollars.
They still have plenty of work left on them and can be a great start for
a first LSR car.
