New Jr. Stock Class
 
What would be a good basic car from a dealer to create a basic car for a New Jr. Stock?
Could any of the new stuff be basic enough? Dart, Aveo, Escort?
Road racing had class for vw, formula Ford, etc. Why not a Aveo class with Stock like rules? Want to race, own one. Want to have cheaper fun buy one. I could care less which car, brand or body, but keep it cheap, basic and it would be fun.... Some mechanic with experience working on these small cars at a dealship should be able to advise us...

PT Cruisers.
Tons of them on the used car lots and private ads.
Several different combos.
Classic look.
Just do not know how easy they are to work on.
I remember the old VW classes.
Always popular"back in the day".

Not a V8 Jr Stocker of old, but these are not the old days.

My 2 cents. Worth half that.

PTs are hard to work on. i had to drop the whole engine just to replace a head gasket!

the PT cruiser is on a neon chassis. A little hard to work on with the air conditioning and all the strret stuff. But with those removed theres plenty of room.
Matter of fact. Heck use a Neon. Plenty of them around.

But they won't stay cheap or basic. That's what happens to every class, especially the ones that are supposed to be cheap and basic. Heck, wasn't "cheap and basic" the general premise behind Stock?
The more rules a class has (i.e. fewer mods allowed), the more opportunity for, um, "interpretation".

Why bother?

Good Comment if we dont care about Stock or Super Stock but I believe there is a place for an inexpensive, simple class with TIGHT rules for new or OLDE guys to enjoy and continue these type cars... Neon might be a good candidate...as mentioned.

We already have FWD classes in Stock, and IHRA also has Pure Stock classes.
