I want to go Stocker Racing

[Alan Roehrich]

Between here and racing junk, I quickly found 8 nice Chevy cars for under $30K, most are 0.8 under or faster and can go 1.0 under with a little work and money.

If you cannot bend and weld in your own cage (and subframe connectors if needed) build your own engine, transmission and rear end, and do most of the other work, you cannot build for that price. Be aware that there is a considerable difference between building a bracket engine and transmission and building a class engine and transmission. Sure, the fundamentals are the same. But the attention to detail, and the need to know what to buy and who to buy it from are far different.

These cars are already set up by good racers, most of the work is already done. A couple that are under $25K had the potential to pick up two tenths for under $5K. A couple of them could change combinations and move into several other classes.
