yeah I hear that I was thinking of running tioga last yr prolly should've heard there was a low car count for V8's there last yr. one heat each night. all the same guys both nights with 1 or 2 exceptions. and a good payout last year. rumor has it the big payout will be for compacts this year but isn't confirmed.

Rust.... That's an easy fix lol, I've bought every one within 30 miles I swear. And I haven't found a 4wd yet...... Ya the fronts are the best part but the sheet metal sucks

Well out of the 5 ih frames one is rusty in the back that I know of.
As far a plateing, 6x9 triangle that's all I did, for the red ones last run I did add a kicker and plated the fender to the kicker. .... But I wasn't running the same rules.
