Ive been toying aroung going stocker racing for a bit now.I will probabaly have a $35000 budget to play with once I sell my current ride which I bit off more than I could chew.(with the price of gas it will be very difficult to have fun with it).Im leaning going E,F or G Automatic.I am new to this (Stocker that is not drag racing).I am considering an early Camaro,Nova 70s or 78-80 Malibu. SBC will be the engine of choice and a Glide.I don't want to be super competitive at first.I just want to learn.I have been reading up on it(NHRA Rule book).Can anyone steer me in the right direction as far as the class and weight etc. and building the car.From the reading ive done there are many talented individuals on this forum.I was just looking for a bit of direction and insight as to my gameplan.RIGHT NOW IT IS ONLY A GAME PLAN. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I DON'T OVER DO IT AGAIN !!!!

P.S. Im in L.I. NY

Thanks

Louie
