If comparing entry level classes of Super Street and Stock, I've done both and Super Street is definitely more entry level. Build a 1/2 decent 454 and a power glide, put it in an old back half car. Spend a $1,000 on a delay box and throttle stop. A couple test n tune days and then drive it like a bracket car. NHRA has already picked your dial in. Best dollars to spend is on a good converter. Stock I've had to spend a lot more $$ buying a competitive car and I don't see how anyone could build it for any less. And I've spent the 1st year learning all the idiosyncrasies of it. Metric 200 transmissions are a picky beast. After 30 years of bracket racing against some of the best drivers in the country, who's in the other lane don't bother me, but is this cranky old car gunna repeat for me, Never had to think about it bracket racing or 10.90.

That said, the facts are Chris has never beaten my son! Further, my son drove around him, trailered him and took the division championship from him in 2018 with the most points ever in D1 and was also the youngest ever, when Chris all but declared he had won division after the first race of the season!! Yes his car is junk and no one is giving him $30k for it, NO ONE! But this ain't about Chris nor do I have issue with Chris. Last edited by 1320racer; 02-06-2024 at 08:36 AM. |

Now, it's just "junk"; it was competitive in 2021 & 2022 according to NHRA standings. Pretty sure he was ahead in the standings over your son. Except 1 category them years: with your son only ahead by 2 spots in points. You bring up 2018, sounds like his "junk" was again competitive. It's not about Chris & your son, it's about your statement; "not competitive and junk". "junk" is your opinion. Competitive, the car is according to the evidence. |
