Why did you build your "slow" stock eliminator car?

[Michael Beard]

Cost was the most important factor when we were just getting started in Stock. Even with all the help we got from new-found friends in the Stocker community, it was still a stretch for us at the time. There was also an interesting challenge aspect to it. It has since become a very competitive car. Coolest thing was double-entering it for two days at a bracket race, making 22 runs on about 2 gallons of fuel! You can *afford* to race this thing!
