It's official :-)
 

I finally got my Div 3 NHRA # for Stock Eliminator today! It's 3119.
Now, i have a pretty long list of things to do, and a little chunk of cash to spend, before it will even matter! hehe... Hope to see you guys at one or two divisionals this season. My goal is to be ready for APril Indy meet...not sure if i will make it , or not. Im gonna give it my best. Hopefully, i will be .5 under, by the end of the season, with a few round wins under my belt. Happy New Year!

Welcome to the asylum. The medications are expensive. But the day room is fun.

Thanks Guys...i must be crazy, huh? Its something ive always wanted to do. Grew up watching the Pontiacs of Truman Fields, Roy and Mike Mckinney, Ken Shawver, Gary Woods, etc... I have a pretty good working car, now i want to see what i can do with 400cubes. Im not lookin to set the world on fire, but im gonna do what i can, on my budget, and have fun with it.

Re: It's official :-)
 

I think the car you've chosen is a good choice as well with currently favorable HP factors. Add to the fact that 400 Pontiacs are very good engines. Good luck and hope to see you in the spring. And don't worry about running way under...it took me five years bracket racing just to get my car to run the index back in the late '80's - early '90's.

Thanks Jim... Im not really worried about how far under i run, at this point. My goal is to get the car working, round to round, the way it does now, then i can start to tinker with it. Right now, its a pretty consistent high 10second bracket car, with Stocker tendancies... Running the same Qjet that ive had on the car, since the early '90s, and spent some time refining the chassis and driveline. Im really excited about this deal. My engine machinist has built several record holding Buicks and Pontiacs, over the years(Bill SMith Motorsports, Muncie Indiana), so im confident that the shortblock is a good one. I think the heads will be pretty good too. Im goin a little conservative on the cam, on the 1st go around. Its gonna be a blast. This 400 is the original block, heads, crank and intake to the car... pretty cool stuff. I have more 400s, but i thought it fitting to build the original one. Got quite a few things to do, to get ready for Indy in APril , but im gonna try!

Brent ,

You will just love it & I agree with Jim on the combo ... One step at a time & make sure you have Fun along the way.. Forget all the complaining
you see & hear at times , racers are a close knit group ... I think you are smart to start with a smaller cam, most have way Too big of a cam... Save your pennys & enjoy the Fun & Friends ... There's always plenty of Pontiac help on here & Pontiac Years ... You will do just fine ... LOL,

Nothing cooler than a Pontiac Stocker!

I may just ditch my old Wagon Superstocker and build my 68 GTO for Stock.

Good luck with yours!
