Justin, most people that race stock and super stock probably had racing experience. I assume you have bracket raced before or at least have made passes down a track?
I’m in SoCal and the only track close with a lot of different programs is Bakersfield, head on out and talk to the racers. I’ll deviate a bit and say get a running car if you can but get a car model you LIKE, it will be a lot easier sinking a lot of money in it.
I’m on my 3rd build starting in super street for about $9,000 in the 80’s moved to super gas in the 90’s with a cost around $20,000 now I’m building what I hope to be a competitive stocker for A or B/SA and the cost as zoomed way up. (buying a running car is way cheaper) Don’t forget a rule book.
