Jumping in to Stock or SuperStock

John Nechiporchik · 06-03-2013, 04:44 PM

Well, After almost 8 months of trying, I finally sold my Top Sportsman car this past weekend. Now, I will move to the next phase of my racing career and jump into the Stock or SuperStock ranks.
I have a few criteria that I need to achieve when selecting the class and car.
1) The ability to run the operation alone without crew assistance.
2) Ability to use the car to bracket race when the urge strikes to get out on a weekend.
3) Something that will be fun
4) something that will not break the bank

I am in the market for a car and have the cash (not a tire kicker). I'm just not decided yet on exactly the car or class to dive into.
As an old 4 speed guy ( back in the 70's), I have this urge to look for a 4 speed stocker.
I have viewed this site for a long time and have found the responses to most inquiries to be legitimate and respectful and am looking for thoughts, ideas and comments.
Although I have stated (to wife and friends) that I was going to be very patient and diligent in the selection process.....I'll likely not keep this committment!!!
I have spotted a 98 Firebird on Racing Junk that looks like a nice unit. MPR built stocker with a Woodro motor.Got the juices flowing!!
Interested in any and all comments.
Look forward to a lively conversation.
Thanks in advance.
