What has changed in Stock Eliminator since 2015?

[Steve Stasko]

With that number of spares... I'd update the safety stuff, change fluids, and go racing. Get the car out and about, then improve upon it from there if you so desire.

I do not race for the possibility of winning money. I have no expectation to win a race or even go rounds..

Makes no sense to me that anyone would invest all this time, effort and $ without an expectation to win no mind win a round, but it doesn’t have to. Do what makes you happy.

Just one note, you do realize that the class you chose to build a car for is NOT a heads up class. Further, the guys that are winning races and championships in Stock Eliminator aren’t going “full out” in competition and are turning on the win light either with their foot off the gas pedal or on the brake pedal or a combination of both most every pass. Oh and they’re doing it as well in qualifying, playing the ladder game. My point is Stock Eliminator is no longer a run full out, pedal to the floor class and it wasn’t in 2015 either. It’s bracket race until you’re paired up with another car in your class(refer back to the ladder game) then it’s first to the finish line and that guy is usually the one that spent more $, a lot more money than you.

Good luck with your decision.

I'm not getting into a word fight with you. I think you missed a bulk of my post. The Class Win trophies on my shelf would disagree with your heads up comment.

I live in Pierre, SD. It's a small town, center of the state, state capitol. On the banks of the Missouri River. Arguably the Walley fishing center of the universe. On most days, even now in the winter, there are a dozen boats & trailers at each boat ramp. These are $50K and up boats, with $30K and up engines on them, and another $20K worth of electronics. Now throw in reals, tackle, and all the other stuff. Many have spent more than $100,000 to be on the water. All to catch a Walley.

My point, I don't know of any hobby that doesn't cost money. But that's really the wonderful part of racing, isn't it? There's bunch of classes out there. Something for everyone, wouldn't you agree? It's unclear to me why you need to disparage why I race and the class I race in when you don't even race in the class that I compete in nor have I disparaged you or your choices.

Don’t ask for opinions and advice on a public forum if you only want the ones that agree with what you have already decided to do.

If you ask for opinions and advice on a public forum you need to understand that means you have to put up with someone like 1320race. Just ignore him like almost everyone else here does.

Pathetic old fool who's days are running out on this rock yet he spends them here, on a forum he has no first hand knowledge and experience of the topics being discussed.

Says the Forum Fool with the fragile ego. Whom continues to contribute to the train wreck.

He's not breaking any forum rules by derailing this thread or any other for that matter.

It is amazing how he almost tries to Bully people, and then just folds when called on it.

Yes, I am almost as pathetic as a self centered know-it-all that doesn't know shyt and is clueless about his lack of TRUE knowledge. Now you can regurgitate the same response as above. LMFAO
