Newbie to Pure Stock

[Robert Swartz]

All I have to offer. Welcome to the lunacy, come on in , the waters fine. Stock/Pure Stock is a bit of different animal than bracket racing. It also offers different challenges.

My take on what I would do. First off, find out where your car classes. Then figure out what the minimum weight needs to be. Determine the index you need to run. Then I'd set myself up a gear set . Get some wheels and tires, (skinnys and slicks). You'll need a driveshaft loop and long wheel studs also. I would want at a minimum a tach and temperature gage. Make sure all the belts and hoses are good, tracks don't like cars that leak, lol.

Take the car to the track. If possible go to a track where you can weigh the car. With the information of what the car needs to weigh, you can begin to look at the areas that you can legally start shedding pounds. After running the car, you will have a baseline to begin to look at what you need to do get to your index. Go out and enjoy yourself.
