Newbie looking to start in stock

[Dan Fahey]

WELL could build a Pure Stocker.
One with a large enough trunk to haul everything and drive it to the track.

Gears, Converter, DOT's, aftermarket IHRA PS Legal Cam.
Best if you get one with a trans with overdrive for highway cruising.
Change tires at track or use drag radials.

Purchased my Impala SS in 95 and kept modifying into a useable Stocker.
AND has run .85 under on a good day.

B-Body platforms (Caprices, Roadmasters, Fleetwoods, wagons) would fit.
Older Mustangs and Camaro/FB's are very popular and competitive.
Late Model Caddy/GTO/G8 fit well too and can run the index with a Tune and DOT's.

The unique feature about IHRA.
Get agood platform. Do a little at a time to get to where you want.
Battle of time and money.

The real costs are legacy.
Hotel, Pit Fees, Food, Ice, Gas.
Later will want a Tow Car and Trailer which adds more legacy costs.

The TIME and of course assesorizing the Wife to help maintain sanity !!
