Super Stock Racing

[CJ Perry]

Save yourself a ton of money and headache and play golf...lol


I driven in both stock and super stock. My car is currently set up for Super Stock. I'm on a serious budget and my engine last year would go .2 under index. The new engine might run .350 under in ok air. I have to jump from class to class to dodge heads up runs. My word of advice is if you can't go .8 under then you need to find a class that no one runs or dodge them by jumping classes.


You have a ton of options as far as what setup to go.

do you have a car ready for Super Stock? If not I have my car for sale...let me know...Luke SS 311

I do. Third generation Camaro. All I need is a legal engine, I have everything else. Just don't want to spend the money. (Cold Feet)

Honestly you're almost cheaper buying a car already done. You can buy a car that runs .3 under for $15,000 or less....

CJ, I know! You are 100% correct. My Son drives my Camaro bracket racing. Real nice car, professionally built 4-link all the good stuff. I have looked at turn key super stockers and have inquired on 2 of them. I would have to pull the Camaro from under my Son, either way. I don't want to do that. and can't support 2 race cars. Kind of talking out of both sides of my mouth.LOL

stick with bracket racing! Less expense, more racing, better payouts, more fun !

If you can find the right parts at the right time ( don't rush to buy a short block or heads look for good deals) you can build or find a good motor cheap, we bought a .2/.3 under (nhra index) complete motor for 6500 put Atleast 130 runs maybe more and won Atleast 14k+ last year in IHRA and bracket racing some, plus around 3k at s/ss combo races, found a good short block and got the word out for some heads now we have a .4/.5 under motor for less than 5k .... U can be competitive and have fun for a good price I have a blast at NHRA/IHRA races and I also have fun at my local tracks when I get time.... I wouldn't worry about cold feet you'll enjoy it

Everyone, has had great insight and obviously experience in class racing. I think it's the excitement of building a car legal if you will, and seeing what you can do with it. But I do think bracket racing is cheaper, well not any more.

[1320racer]

sure it is! Far less expensive and far better payouts.

I decided to go bracket racing this year instead of class racing. While I had a blast bracket racing this year, nothing beats hanging out at the track for a weekend. I can honestly say I've made life long friends. To me, while class racing is expensive and it's hard being young with no one finically backing me, but it's still a great time. To me it's a mini vacation.
