Re: Comp 101
get yourself a nhra rulebook, it has all of the classes and weight breaks in there. Some of the class rules are like super stock in that there are limits on carb size and transmission type.
There are no class winners, so you only race for comp win.
You can set records at lodrs events. no records at national events.
To buy a competetive comp engine for Pro stock truck v6 is 30 to 50k. Most winners buy their engines, have a engine program with a couple of customers, or have been doing it a long time.
Barone has 3 full time cars and has one for sale right now on www,insidecomp.com Ackerman builds engines for his own car and dave rings car.
Cost of entry is not huge, cost of winning is huge. Top racers do a lot of testing and most have dynos.
Good luck, can always use another car in comp.
