Hi Doug The reasoning on that was, when a group told me I could only go so
fast to win, it then became corporate controlled and creativity was stifled! A
200club hopeful can get a real record with innovation, why should the record
be set so high that only a guy who can afford 7engines be given the only
chance? Another words if its to hot, spend more money.A Bill France quote:

loading the wagon boys the horse is blind". Maybe the 2club can be like NASCAR

Jack,
You and I obviously have a different slant on the subject.The reasons
most of us left drag racing are exactly as you stated. Regards the 7
engines and a couple of cars, from my observations most of the guys in the
Two-Club are not mega-buck types. There are many partnerships intended to share
the
expenses and labor, and yes, a few very well funded operations that are
definitely in the minority.
You and your operation probably best represent the hands-on approach.

I don't feel that the Two-Club minimums are unreasonable. They are simply
intended to prevent someone "turkey-shooting" entry into the Club in a class
with no record or a very soft existing number.
If there is a Two-Club minimum that's unreasonable or unreachable I
believe that Roy and the Board will listen to arguments that it should be
lowered.........Ardun Doug King
