I just don't want to spend $20K or so on a retirement hobby, just to get torpedoed by something that I never saw coming.

Again, I have no interest in setting a record or racing at Indy- I just would like to be able to comfortably run under index.

The best way someone can get into class racing is to buy a lower class turn key vehicle that is a proven combo. Say like P/SA or slower. That's how I bought my first NHRA Stocker.
I ran 1.4x under on my first pass in NHRA Stock with the car in my avatar and set the Q/SA record the same day.. There was no way I could have gotten a legal Stocker to run that far under index if I had built it myself for that amount of money.

If you want to go bracket racing with a class car, then the Stock Eliminator field is less populated in the (lower letter) classes so the odds of a heads up pairing ( with another vehicle the same class as yours) during eliminations is greatly reduced.


For $ 20K you could probably buy a turn key car, open trailer and a decent pickup tow rig
