I never questioned Billy's style of racing, his credentials, or his accomplishments.

You are over 40 years LATE. I raced a 72 Ventura 307 2 barrel in 1982. I got down to 9.22 (1/8 mile), through the mufflers, on street tires, before the car was wrecked on the way home from Music City Raceway. Wasn't fast enough to play in the Combo races at The Hill.




If I want to race a slow vehicle, I'll put the Silverado in tow mode.

How about a New Style Jr. Stock ? EXAMPLE: Let's say a Cobalt with a full cage, 9x30 (maximum) tire, Ladder bars, Engine Compartment and Front Suspension Rules same as Super Stock. Drivetrain Example: Stock Legal 1969 300hp. 350 engine, a Turbo 350 and a 12 Bolt. Obviously a Minimum Weight and Maximum Displacement would have to be determined. 4 Barrel Combinations only.

First of all you have a "Low Priced" Later Model Affordable Body, Front Half Rules already established, Rear Suspension available in Kit form. Steel Tubs. The remainder of the Construction would be as "General" in the Rule Book. The Build could be done at home in the Garage, just like "Old Times".

This is an example for Chevrolet. Ford and Chrysler would have their own picks. A Class like this would be called JR. Super Stock or Sr. Stock. Would something like this be encouraging? Just a thought. MB

Re: New Classes in Stock AAA/SA, AAA/S and FS/AAA
 

Weight breaks. Haven't seen the indexes yet.
FS/AAA: 5.00 to 5.49
AAA: 7.00 to 7.49

I have been trying to get new (2005 and newer) six cylinder combinations in the books for nearly a year. Fun combinations that will run well. They need to be afforded the same discount on HP that was given to the challenger, mustang and camaro street version V-8s were given to be remotely competitive. I believe young people may bite on a 12 second reasonably cost effective stocker with the potential to go 11s.

It is not 1985 and you can’t build something with much curb appeal for cheaper.

I’m sorry if younger people want their junkyard 5.3 turbo LS with 40 lbs of boost before it scatters in 10 passes, they were never getting into stock eliminator in the first place.

When I got started in stock in 2007, I had the car already, but still could build another one today very inexpensive. I had a 99 Camaro. I literally bought a long block LS1 from my work ( GM dealership) for $1700.00 bucks. Brought it home and called Bullet for a $375.00 camshaft and a set of springs (can't remember how much the springs were) put in in and ran it. Went 10.70's at 123 In C/S. It doesn't get much cheaper than that. The next year I pulled the heads gave them to Dave Layer, and said do your thing. He said what valves do you want to run? I said the ones that are in there, lol he looked at me and said Okay lol. That was $1700.00 bucks for his valve job. Took the car back to the track and went 10.48 at 127.90. .87 under in bracket mode. My point is it didn't cost me much to run and get started in stock at all ! I had less than $4500 bucks in the complete engine t/b to pan. So kids could go buy a junk yard 5.7 etc and camshaft and run 50- 60 under for way cheap ! Then work on it year after year gaining a little here and there and learning along the way. The class just needs to be advertised more I think. These big money class races are really cool and I hope they start getting bigger and bigger. Once you explain stock/super stock to people which can be difficult lol. They are like wait, you ran what with THAT how, LOL!

I work with a lot of guys that run the 5.3 turbo deal and when I tell them my stocker can run high 5's at what we have to use and weigh in the 1/8th there eyes get real big lol!


And once you get hooked into stock its over lol There is nothing like it IMO!!

And as far as the enhancements, new classes , and cars going faster and faster I think Stock eliminator is the best its ever been right now , just walk through the staging lanes sometime ,but I'm also only 49 years old :)
