By the time its all said and done running the season and support eqipment including the car 200K to run the first season. (Being a VERY resourceful person.) Maybe 50 to 85K the second if your motor doesn't go catastrophic. Mad respect for you Sir, doing it that way. That is almost the same way my program works. Without turning wrenches and having good friend help me work on my car no way would I get to play. If I could, I would have a blower combo in mine and would belly up for some action. Maybe someday...

Re: "factory stock"
Maybe NHRA will consider a NA series since there is so much interest in the blower cars. Would give more racers a place to play and IMHO would draw just as many racerst.

We are going to find out this year. My engine is within a few HP of Turks so it has the power. Being a stick car is going to be the trick to get right. When we set this program off the goal was 7.9s. BES gave me the power and we have started an even badder bullet from what we’ve learned on this one. I’m to stubborn to stop until the car goes to the top of the heap. Just going to keep plugging away till it gets there and find ways to get it there.

Re: "factory stock"
NHRA finally has a stock appearing door car small tire heads up class that has power adders.
If you enjoy this type of racing, check out your local track if they run Ultra street, Ultimate street, Street outlaw, MX235 or x275. (there are many names for these classes so can be confusing) For years local tracks have been running these classes and at the start there was some junk there but now Ultra street has a national Championship. J C Beatie (owner of ATI ) runs a COPO camaro sometimes at Cecil county street car event in Ultra street class as NHRA legal trim. Ultra street record holder is actually N/A. Cecils races usually runs 2 qualifiers then into eliminations the 1st saturday of the month in season. So get a good day of heads up racing for $20.00 and see some fast cars. Cecil does have bracket and Index classes too, kind of like a NHRA divisional. |

Yep. FS/X didn't stand a chance because of having to race a FS/XX car in the finals. Apples and oranges. No heads up. No contest.

Re: "factory stock"
A non blown series could work very well and be just as popular. Just keep it out of Stock Eliminator, get the rules right. There was a sponsor for that series already in place and I'm sure he is still there.
