CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Wanting to get into stock eliminator. MAYBE

Well here is what I have learned. I want to race primarily NHRA so I would like a Legal NHRA car that way I can run both. I have found a car that I really want to purchase from a highly respected stock and super stock racer that I have followed for many years. It is a 92 camaro that runs J,K/SA It is my belief (unless you folks inform me otherwise) that this is a car and a class that I think he can be competitive in plus it seems like a good place to start. I am not interested in running 1.0 under I am happy with .5 under our goal is not to set records but to win rounds, races and championships.

I Still have a couple of questions though how often does a car get torn down, is there a reason or is it just random? Would an I,J,K/SA car be similar to that of an 11 or 12 second bracket car with regard to maintenance? how many runs could you expect to get out of a car running in this class? what would an average freshen up cost on a motor in a car running in this class run (ball park)?

You all have given me great advice and I thank you very much. I will be at the LODRS event in Gainesville this weekend and would like to meet any of you who might be there and maybe ask some more questions so let me know if you will be there and I will indeed find you.
