choosing a car for stock eliminator

[CRI74]

How do I go about deciding on a car for stock eliminator? I understand the basics about hp factoring. I was thinking of a lower class w/ an automatic. Suggestions will be helpful.

The higher the class, the faster the car, the more piles of money invested.

Get a rule book and read it closely then look at the NHRA classification guide and this will give you an idea for a choice of cars.

But, if I was starting over again I would look for a lower class car that is competitive and buy it, it's much cheaper and you can start racing the next day!

Just my thoughts,

Great advice, Jim-a car like Mark Yacavones Mustang-what a deal! CR174, check the classifieds on this forum there is Marks mustang as well as a Buick recently listed that was under 15k if I remember right.

the first ? why do you want to race "stock"? 2nd is their a car you have or love? If you have a car look @ the combos ...one maybe way better or way cheaper then the others. but buying an already built car is the way to go ;-)

Mark Yacavones Mustang-what a deal! You could not build it for that money, it will qualify anywhere, and your a record holder to start off. To do this yourself could take years, go for it and your in the mix from the get go. Mark has been around a long time and builds great combos, call him, he is a super person.

But it wil always be Mark Yacavones Mustang no matter what you do with it. Its still the smartest way to go.
