CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Why did you build your "slow" stock eliminator car?

I built my first slow stocker in 1972 because I liked Chevy 230's. I got a kick out of beating $10,000 Chevelles with my $650 Bel-Air. Now I'm building my El Camino to see how much faster I can get a 230 to go now than I could in 1972. And I'm building a 67 l Camino because that's the car I've always wanted. I'm going to build it the way I want, NHRA Stock legal, race it for a couple of years, then put it on the street. And yes, I hope to beat $100,000 Camaros with my $10,000 Chevelle/El Camino.
Oh, and it will run V/Stock - or V/SA if Billy convinces me to run a Powerglide!
