It's almost like classracer users want to engage with people who are actually interested in class racing. hmmm

I've got about 14k in my program (10 for the car and engine parts, 2 for engine assembly, and 2 for miscellaneous parts I had to acquire to get the car race ready. I already had a trailer and tools, which it sounds like this fellow does as well), for clarity. I'm not the fastest, but I'm under my index and far enough down in the alphabet that heads up runs are not something I'm worried about. Having an absolute blast and just started a year ago.

Entry fees are around $200 +/- $20 depending on which division you run in. Payout is not amazing for the price, around $2k to win with $100 per paying contingency sticker on the car at divisionals, $300 per sticker at nationals. I won a national event in S/G in 2023, was not stickered up great, and still cleared about $4500 (and a really awesome wally).

Dawson, my son and I ARE class racers and we have won numerous “awesome” Wallys for class wins, Division Championships and National event wins.

That said, your $14k investment in your program will not be nearly enough to transform the OP’s bracket car into a legal, competitive, stocker much less a competitive super stocker!

I just wanted to share my investment for the sake of "being transparent on real costs." The money I've spent on my program is a known, the potential money this fella will spend is an unknown.

And by class racer, I mean STK/SS racers are interested in helping and advising people who are interested in STK/SS racing. That is the thread we are in, anyway. Sorry for the confusion lol.

Still waiting for proof of all of these "awesome" Wallys......
