[s-cars] Cody: Stand back. Take a deep breath. You are getting sucked into...

[Dave Forgie]

the bottomless money pit of "improvements".  I am not saying don't do it (rods, pistons, etc) but just be aware of what you are doing and have a fixed budget.  We already lost one S-car club member here (Vancouver) who just kept going and going with the improvements until he found he was in over his financial head and ended up selling the car (the Devil) to get out of the cycle.  

Its like a drug, I know.  But moderation is a good thing.  Just 'cause there are modifications that can be made, it doesn't mean you have to make them.  If you think you are going to compete with Hap, or Mance or Rod Haney (the latter two no longer have their S-cars for various reasons) then think again.  Hap is always going to win.

But hey, that's just my view point from six years on the 'list.
