Tin Soldiers Racecars does an amazing job

The question is: competitive or not?

It's got to weigh nothing. But, can a Stage motor make and sustain the power needed to win the class reliably and consistently?

Obviously. Obviously I asked an honest question and was looking for some technical insight into how it would be achieved.

Money and parts are his biggest roadblocks.  Trying to run a stage motor only drawback is keeping up a supply of parts. That can almost  be impossible on 35 year old motors less the TA blocks.  A friend of mine runs Promod  and uses Pat Musi  motors. He goes through 2 or 3 a year at $175K each but they are readily available with unlimited setups. I think Dave will be limited to a very few outings a year.

Yeah, I think that is more one of those run it now and then and talk about it a lot.  I might be wrong and I know Dave is a well known figure in the Buick world but for what it costs to keep a Buick running on the absolute, competitive edge, I kinda doubt it will be out most week ends of the year.  It's all speculation at this point, but it is a work of art no matter how it is sliced.

People have a hard enough time getting small-block and big-block chevy parts at the moment - I can't imagine trying to race a Stage II Buick V6!

Dave races all over the place for years. Not just Buick stuff.  This Buick is a lot lighter than the Mustang. When ya break shit ya fix it NOW... Been there an done it with Melissa's car. Ya we broke stuff. and YES I still have a lot of parts

For anyone that wants to follow along. As Dan said Dave is legit, his mustang is one of the quickest in Ultra Street and it's Buick powered.
