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

At the risk of everybody going off on me (because it seems you folks hate these cars) I will admit I want to run my 2011 Drag Pak Challenger in Super Stock once or twice next year. I've never run in Super Stock before (or any NHRA class) so I thought it might be fun to try it. I've never had a class legal car so I figured it would be now or never. All I've done before is bracket raced. Jerry Bickel is putting tubs in for me now and I hope to go to Florida in January to get my license.

Think the issue is more with the NHRA and classification than the DP car itself. A new player is always welcome, have fun and be safe.

I'm freshening a '66 Coronet sedan to run in Super Stock/Production, hoping to be out by the summer. The car ran Formula Stock years ago and has been off the track since the late-70's/early-80's. It has the same paint on it that it was last raced with, I'm going to leave it. I am updating the safety and suspension stuff currently.

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

We (my Dad and I) are building a '72 Duster so we can try to start class racing in 2012. The current goal is to get out bracket racing with a non-legal motor in the spring and then drop in a legal low comp 340 during the season. If that happens we'll probably run some East Coast S/SS events and maybe make it to a divisional...if not, 2013.

Ken Kopecky got us going in the right direction and gave me a lot of advice on buidling the car earlier this year. Tom Goldman did the chassis work over the summer and has been invaluable on setup tips. So far we've got the chassis, suspension, rear, brakes and fuel system done; working on wiring now and then we'll get the interior finished before putting the driveline in and completing final assembly. Stil need wheels, tires, headers and driveshaft, but we're getting close. It's gonna be tight with the work schedule, but we should be done sometime in February.

I'll post some pictures on the build in another thread after we get a little further along.


Tom

I bought another car to replace my 95 firebird stocker project that was destroyed last sping by our tornado. I am working on getting the body cleaned up and ready to paint and having cage installed. Then I just have to start switching over parts from the one that got crushed. I also have another firebird at Nebraska Chassis (chassis1 on here) getting a NHRA Super stock legal backhalf done. I doubt with my businesses being so busy I will be out with you guys this year but I am trying

Real shame about the one that was crushed. That was one really nice car. I took some parts to Eastexas Race Cars Friday. Mine's looking really good. Wish my TIG welding looked like Dewayne's. LOL

I'm in the process of putting together a 1970 350/250 two barrel combination to run in my former Stock Eliminator / NMCA Mean Street Nova to run in SS/MA. Hopefully we'll be out by the end of 2012.

Troy,
I'm really excited to have you join the ranks in Div. 4
But first you have to build a car that is in the class guide. The car you're building is not.
I'm sure you'll get it figured out. Just do like you do in IHRA, Claim another year.
