Help me get into the 12's for cheap

Don't let yourself get discouraged. The first time I built my motor I was thinking it would be close to 12s. Took it to the track and with street tires ran a 14.2 at 96 mph. I wanted to burn my car to the ground but instead I took a break from racing and saved up enough to build it again. Now if it's still not in the 12s I might actually burn it down!! Actually I'll probably just keep racing and be the slow guy at the track that will never break out!!

Stick with it and eventually you get faster and more poor!
