Do you race your stocker/super stocker at "regular" races?

I've had the pleasure of watching Robbi make lots of passes down the track at the 2 big money bracket races I've announced in NC. The car looks as good as it goes, and Robbie is a heck of a driver!

I would highly recommend getting more of the Stock guys/gals to get more seat time racing PRO ET (Summit Series), or the No-Box class on Non-Summit weekends. I know Brad and Scott Burton ran the Summit series at home in D5 as I saw them at the ET Finals in Topeka two years ago.
There is no replacement for seat time. The practice tree only goes so far.
I personally know Matt Harris who raced his Cutlas Comp car with a bracket engine in 2009/2010 until the Grand Am was rebuilt, and Shaun Vincent bracket raced his "new" S/S Trans Am a handful of times over the last year few years with a bracket engine, and last year with their SS engine. Both did very well.
The only draw back for S/S in Pro ET is, technically, the car cannot have a data acquisition computer connected while racing.

I lucked up and pulled off a win in No Box Saturday night at Montgomery with Robert Hindman's D/SA Cobra Jet.

Ran my T-Bird Stocker for the first time Sat. night at our local DOT bracket races. Semi final finish.

Did some time trials with the lightweight 30 " Hoosier slicks.
Then switched to 6 year old- 28" tall heavy M&H DOT drag radials. (as required to have in the class)

Car ran the same e.t. either way.

Jim Woods' "Borrowed Money" IS a bracket car that just so happens to be legal to run stock. LOL! I have bracket raced it more than ran Stock Eliminator.
