Performance Stock NMCA

And you still have to deal with Bogus HP combinations for a class trophy. When one SS/AH wins class none of the guys cry about HP. They all have the same opportunities to win class. A Crate motor is the same deal for 1/10 the money. Same bragging rights.... Same trophy... glad you have an inexpensive alternative...Bet the guy you bought it from spent a lot more than you did.

I am quite sure he did.
For me it turned out great because the very first pass I made in the car at an NHRA event I went 1.4xx under the index and set the Q/SA record on the next pass that day.

Lucky for me I guess.

Congratulations. You make a good point. If you look carefully you "might" find a real alternative to Building a car and cheaper too. My thought these are few and far between and if a guy wants to just start and not enjoy heads up racing a sealed motor car could be fun and cheap.

What do you think a car would have to run to be competitive in this class?

Depends on how much they cheat !

Wow, an optimist. How much do tech men allow regular class winners to cheat? With tech I think most would be aware of people out to cheat...

I had the same question. What do you guys think a legal LS car would have to run to be competitive? We'd have to change the 4L60E in our C5 (if that can even be done to a glide) but this class interests me. Pure Stock is too slow and after a COPO went 9.80 in B/SA at Indy there is no way we can compete with that.

More budget class. I haven't seen trans rule yet.... I would be happy if they limited it to PG only or TH 350...Fewer choices, less money chasing the magic .1. Drive it to win...

Glass bumpers, hoods and deck lids. Plus mini tubs doesn’t sound much like stock to me.
