My advice is simple... Build or buy the fastest possible car or truck you can afford..or not afford.
Years ago I bracket raced almost every weekend with a friend that also raced a 65 Impala in stock. I wanted to jump into stock eliminator bad...but didn't have much 🤑 money. I told him I found a 80 something charger 2.2 turbo 4 cyl. It would go way under came with tons of spare parts and was CHEAP...he said don't do it... have you ever seen one of those really slow cars win the eliminator?...well no. A gust of wind at the 1000ft will kill it! Of course you can tow it all over the country to races that have class eliminations and win a bunch of little Wally's.
