Yep, that's what i'd do. A good quality rebuild with some bolt on's and a little cam should get you in the 14's and that will get you in most no electronics brackets. From what i've seen, they run somewhere in the 15.99 to 11's range. You can sign up at your local track for points and have a blast. I actually like being slow for a bracket and being chased. Yea you can redlight first, but if you get the hang of cutting lights, you'll do real well.
