New racers probably shouldn't be starting out in Stock or Super Stock, it should be the end goal. We should encourage new racers to try brackets or super street first. They can get their feet wet and experience racing for relatively low cost. I built my first super street car for $8K. I moved up to super gas and had a low 9's car for $20K. Now I'm building a $40K car to run mid 10's. Why, because there is a certain allure to running a competitive car within the rules. Anyone can build a car to run the .90's classes, just get a big enough engine. I think Stock and Super Stock are a step up and it's the last step I can afford.
