Billy, I’m not that deep or spiritual, say what you mean.

I think Jeff said it just fine.

Must be inspiring to you, means nothing to me.

Though he’s never competed in the actual million.

A clown calling out a clown….I’ve seen this before? Oh yeah the circus….

some of you guys have an issue with the truth and the facts. You talk about stock eliminator as if it's the pinnacle of drag racing. It is NOT, the pinnacle of drag racing doesn't race for $1,500/$1,800 and a trophy no one but class racers care about while held captive for nearly a week, then wait by the mailbox for a few $100/$300 checks. More to my point, the cars are not "stock". further you bitch and moan about the rules you don't like while turning a blind eye to the rampant cheating that has been going on for decades. Last like Frank, you think you have some superior knowledge and skill set because you are prepared to pull a head and/or a piston/rod.

Come on in the water is fine, you got the cash, your kid can drive, buy the copo!!! You can watch!!

LOL!!!
Ed you are the funniest on the interwebs....
"Must be inspiring to you, means nothing to me."
Having trouble with words?? LOL!

Let's not forget you telling me in person you would never ever race NHRA but when your kid saw his buddy having fun you lowered yourself.... The signman knows!!! LOL!!!

What is Truth and Fact? but what the individual can accept as such. What you project is yours only....

Oh come on Frank! This may be the definition of "truth" but "fact" will eventually step up and hit you right square in the face.;-)

Not sure if I should comment or not. Almost stopped reading when the childish taunts came out.

As for being entry level, well I'm in the process of building my first stocker after bracket racing all my life, it is not cheap or easy. Entry level though is only a comparison to other NHRA classes. So the real question is, what is the cheapest class to go NHRA racing?
Stock is NOT it.
I say this because it would of been easier/cheaper to throw a 460/c6 in my fox body and go 10.90 racing. Already have lots of stuff lying around. Heck, throw a ls in it for even cheaper! I love bracket racing and consider stock, the pinnacle (to me). I have zero interest in top fool or other heads up wallet races. Yes I have "junk" and will struggle to hit the index and I'm ok with that.

So, in my opinion, stock is not an "entry level" class, however, the lower classes are "entry level to stock"
