Wanting to get into Stock Eliminator...

NHRA Division 2 will be having a National Open at Gainesville Raceway the end of next week and there should be an opportunity to see a very good group of Mopar stock class cars and drivers in attendance. Here's the link -

I live in Jacksonville and have a stocker and my father is putting his Super Stocker back together. The question I have for you is do you have a ET desire? If you don't mind footbraking a slower 13-15sec car then there are many options with a more resonable budget. For example Michael Beard had a Front Wheel Drive Omni for sale that was a competetive car and he proved you can win with it. The second one is here in florida. It is a dodge dakota with "Pace Bros" on the door it runs T/SA with a V-6 in it. I saw it again at the Summit Divisional race in Valdosta. I saw a For Sale sign on it before. I believe that you can run a V-8 combo in the same truck. Plus there is some inherited advantages and disadvantages. The Second is obvious but trucks are all allowed to have, I believe, a .430" lift cam in it no matter what came from the factory for that combo. Just some things to think about.
