It is my dream to race Stock or Super Stock and I am planning out a race car day to day. I am currently planning a 70 or 71 fastback Torino with a 351 Cleveland or whatever engine/transmission I could possibly come up. Stock or Super Stock is the ultimate goal I have but every other young person I know wants to run the .90 classes with throttle stops and delay boxes but im just the oppisite I would love to learn to race with a clutch and a small block and a lot of poeple think im different for wanting to do so but I think we need some more economic classes in Stock to revive a little bit of life into it and let me tell ya $100,000 Stock and Super Stock package cars isnt the answer! I am cutting my theeth racing a 460 powered pinto for now but soon I plan on class racing wish me luck
