Default Re: Any new Stock Super Stock Cars being build for 2012?

Well, This appears to be as good of thread as any to make my first post.

Although the plan is to compete in a full season will be 2013, I'm building a 2012 5.0 Cobra Jet to run in SS/H. Talk about jumping in with both feet right?

I've never ran in the NHRA so I'm having to learn how things operate around this neck of the woods. Its because of the Cobra Jet reintroduction is what got me looking at racing in the NHRA in the first place.(That and dissatisfaction with other organizations). I've wanted to go racing full time for several years but in order to make a solid go of it I had to become debt free and put family life on solid foundation. So after 2 years of paying off everything I can now go full fledge into racing. Although it will be rough at first to do everything using zero debt and take a longer period of time to accomplish full operation that is the personal path I deem 100% worth it.(Selling my 03 Cobra this summer to help speed up the process)

Scott Barker and myself will be doing all the chassis work. BES will be building the engine. I'm getting help on the clutch set-up from Scotts friend that runs in GT. I'm still working on which is the best route on Transmission for my budget.

I hope to meet some more of you at the track. The ones I have spoken with so far as been incredible helpful.

I hope to make it out this spring or early summer, finally. Car is at Dave Cech's shop getting pretty red skin, and as soon as it comes home the thrash will be on. 66 Nova, 327/275, Jerico w/ Advanced Clutch. F or G/S. Fingers crossed!
