Strip only - Any regrets???
I think it all depends on if you want to be a serious racer or not. I ran for years in Street/Sportsman with a dual purpose car and did well, but had very little success in the Pro/Super Pro ranks. It is just too hard to make a dual purpose car deadly consistent.
If you are just a hobby racer a dual purpose car is great.
Right now I am planning on doing a tube chassis in my Duster. It will be strip only for sure after that.
