My Chevelle was always more stock than maybe any stocker in the country!, right up to the day I sold it in 2008. Yes stock heads, manifold, carb etc. back in the day when I made my 1st pass in it running 15.34 at almost 4100 lbs. through full factory exhaust with exhaust manifolds and through 1999 IIRC and running in the 12’s

I sold it because I had run quicker and faster than I ever had plan to with it and didn’t want to cut up a real stocker that also weighed nearly 3900 lbs. to be legal as well as safe to run consistency deep in the 9s as it was capable of.

Qualifying towards the top is very important. It's not easy to figure out how it all works. I'm still trying to figure it out myself. I have a ton of respect for the guys and gals that have it figured out.

Class racing is a totally different sport vs bracket racing where you can run your grandma's Buick Century. Bracket racing was created so even the fat kid stood a chance at winning a race.....lol

Jared, groundstrap is pretty tame, you need to come up with a better one.
Who is this guy, doesn't use his real name.

Hi Jim!

Groundstrap, because he’s always negative. Picked that up from others on here.

His name is Ed Bigley. His son, Kyle, is a really good driver in brackets and the super classes. You’ll find some stuff if you Google him. Ed? Not so much.

Several of your competitors that replied here including the one that started this thread disagree with you and I personally know numerous stock eliminator racers that are/were bracket racers that too disagree with you.

This message is hidden because 1320racer is on your ignore list.

"how important is qualifying"

Just a reminder what the thread was about before being hijacked because you people keep responding and quoting him. How has this improved class racers lives? How has his extraordinary wisdom benefitted the thread???

Knowing the guy who built his Chevelle motor, not even close to stock! Big cam, big compression, big carb , big manifold and head work. ��*♂️
Who are you fooling? Get off your pigmy pony horse and leave the real class racers alone.
Just making yourself look foolish. It?s not funny and it?s not helpful.
You aren?t qualified to comment on any class car on this site.
The only thing you?ve worn out besides us is the keyboard!
I stand by your new name! D. E.
