We (my brother, Neal, our partner Jim Loney and I) made a decision in 2006 to build a 69 Camaro for stock eliminator precisely because it was the most common combination and very well scienced out.

This was kind of a bucket list thing for us. We wanted to know if we non-automotive, non-professionals had the skill to build a competitive stocker, and choosing a one-off combo wouldn't prove it definitively. If the one-off didn't run well, was it our fault, or because the combo is poor? Conversely, if it flew, was it because we are such geniuses, or is the factor too soft?

It didn't hurt that we already owned a rolling Camaro body.
