I'm just trying to prove that it doesn't take 10k or 50k to go Stock Eliminator racing and at the same time maybe provoke a few fence sitters to come racing.
Even if you're not interested in this type of thing, check in on it anyway and look at it as some kind of reality show!
Billy,

Love this stuff. You gave me encouragement with the Olds. I have other things that take priority, don't know if we're going to do much with it this year.

All I can add, I took a bone stock car, tuned it as best we could, haven't been able to do anything with the computer yet. Cut the exhaust off it. Put a tach in it, a set of DR's on it. Got it within 60lbs of the weight for EF/SA. We did squeeze a 10.69 against a 9.85 index (1/8 mile). Not saying the thing is a "dime rocket", the potential is there.
