Re: Newb stock or super stock question. . .
You need a rule book first. And you need to understand up front that to be competitive in NHRA Stock Eliminator, you'll have to turn your car into a pure dedicated race car. You're talking about considerable work and expense.

I may be way off base here, I want to race a "stock" car, not stock eliminator. |

Like Alan said, you need a rule book first. You could race IHRA Pure stock.
You have to run the factory intake and carb(s)?. What type of trans is in the car?

You may want to look at IHRA Pure Stock classes.

Re: Newb stock or super stock question. . .
Your other choice would be to leave the car as is and race one of the
Summit Series in your area if NHRA tracks are more plentaful for you. In other words a bracket race, where you can leave the car as is and still have fun racing it, but not take it totally off the street. In any case you may have to make some changes to run either IHRA or NHRA, items like a blow proof bellhousing, add a driveshaft loop just to name two items.
