I always heard the lower stock classes were easier to get into

M/SA requires a rollbar and N/SA does not. It can always be removed when you are done. Obviously you know the engine requirements to run stock. Unless you run into a heads up race. A 12.99 in the heat of the day in N/SA will be good enough to win. A good sealed up bore and the right stock class camshaft should do that. Spend some good money on a torque converter and the correct gearing in the transmission and rear axle. Find a guy like Deano carburetors to give you a good piece and away you go.

Enjoy!

Perfect. Thanks all. About the advise I was looking for. Now I'll add a little context. I wrench for a living, but prefer when I get to do it for a hobby. I have a history of doing more with less. I try to make 300 laps+ a year, and don't mind swapping hard parts to make a combination more efficient. I was raised by a man that spent 30ish years working for Ford, so I've had a small block or 2 apart. I know what the stripe looks like when the other lane is carrying 50 mph on me (not that I judge it well yet) I love the challenge of tight restrictions and doing it clean. I have one daughter the runs a Jr. And one more starting next year, so running races they are not is a good situation for me. My motorhome loves the freeway, so Nevada, California, Oregon, Idaho and Montana are "short" trips to my family. And if I was looking to recoup my costs with a steering wheel in my hand I'd drive an Uber. Like I said, making dumb decisions for fun for a long time. Keep it coming. I honestly expected more abuse.

Most of the ABUSE won’t happen till you pair up with Jody Lang, Brad Burton and other D 6 stalwarts…..

Nitro Joe's is a pretty good source for how different combos perform.

Devin I've raced everything from Outlaw 10.5, T/D, T/S, S/C, S/G, S/st and any form of brackets you an imagine. We built a 93 Camaro pure stocker for my son as he aged out of JR dragsters. Had a ball with it till IHRA folded up. I finally bought a mid class NHRA stocker, an I/SA Malibu Wagon about a year ago and now have 2 N cars as we just bought a G/SA Nova. I've run a bunch of Div2, Natty Opens, a few Nat Events, and local S/SS stuff. All I can say is I should have done this 10 years ago!!

We are having a ball. We have met a whole new racing family of great folks. Love the travel. Leaving for Galot in about 1 1/2 weeks then off till Charlotte/Bristol/Rockingham. Don't worry about being the fastest, that will come with time. Get out here and do it!
