Most of the old Mopars have at least a couple of combos that are pretty easy to get 3 or 4 under on a budget. The challenge is starting with zero data base on stock eliminator racing. If we go out of our way to help new racers with a little help and encouragement....... it can not hurt. In the early 90's I remember Jess Suter letting me look at his suspension when no one else would let me near their cars. I remember the Etters helping me with Cams and Carbs in the same period. Larry Maxwell at my first race and again whenever I needed took the time to show me the right direction. Most of them got criticized by other racers for their trouble. If it was not for a little kindness they showed ..... I would have gone back to bracket racing again!

If you see a new guy.......take a few minutes to introduce yourself and help them....It is good for the Eliminator.

If anyone Ever needs any help or advise: just Message me or my boys and we will get your car to run under on a budget....may take me a week sometimes (Health) but happy to help.

We have been down four times in the last year with our stockers (once voluntarily when setting record). Nobody really enjoys it......especially in the rain or bad weather. But it is pretty much always been part of how the deal works if you want to run Stock/SuperStock!
