considering getting back into racing--many questions

Jeff Gillman · 11-30-2008, 09:52 PM

We must live awful close to each other as I am also from Grand Rapids Michigan. Anyway, I have been racing for quite some time mainly bracket racing. I have been around class racing since I was a young child as my dad was and still is a Super Stock racer. At some point I also decided I wanted to go class racing. So while I was still bracket racing I paid close attention to the Super Stock cars, after about 2 years I made a decision that I wanted to be the person doing the chasing as much as possible, and I wanted to find a car that had a good track record. I ended up purchasing a 1990 Camaro from Mike Crutchfield that ran SS/BS. The car was not yet for sale, but I had heard he was building a new car. I wanted this car for the reason above; the car had a very good track record, Multi time Jegs All Star representive, Multi Division 2 Championships, and I would be the chaser most of the time. I have since sold this car to a gentleman in Florida and purchased another car from Crutchfield. I am telling you this because the Camaro is for sale for the price of $35,000.00. It is a great deal for someone that wants to get into Super Stock and have a proven car very capable of winning. Just need a good driver and a little luck. In bracket mode it is a 9.10 to 9.20 car, in go fast mode it is a 8.90 car with a 9.95 index. It is possible it could also be delivered as the new owner of this car (Gary) may possibly be coming to Grand Rapids soon. Whatever you decide for a car I am sure it will be an enjoyable experence, there are alot of really good people in the drag racing community. If you have any questions call anytime 616-677-1879 home, 616-293-8161 cell, or e-mail me at jefftools@charter.net
