Getting Started in Class Racing

[Chad Rhodes]

hopefully Evan Smith will chime in here, he knows a ton about the fox body stockers. The fox body mustangs can be very good stockers for sure, but there is alot to learn. the best advice I can give you is to go to a divisional race and talk to some people. you'd be surprised how friendly and willing to help most class racers are. we all bicker back and forth on here quite a bit, but most of us would loan parts to the guy we had to race next round, just the way it is. Also, you can pick up a lot more talking with people when there is a stocker nearby to look at, than just generalizing over the internet.

Alan is also right, we're all nuts for doing this. But we do it because its a challenge. Another few things to remember about stock eliminator; Its like going to a magic show, what you see is amazing, but what you don't see is even more so. Also there is a lot of reading between the lines in the rulebook. Not from a legal vs no legal standpoint, but if you read the rule book and built a motor that fit the rules, but wasn't done with some assistance from people who know something about stock racing, you might be disappointed in the initial performance.
