Oh come on Frank! This may be the definition of "truth" but "fact" will eventually step up and hit you right square in the face.;-)

Not sure if I should comment or not. Almost stopped reading when the childish taunts came out.

As for being entry level, well I'm in the process of building my first stocker after bracket racing all my life, it is not cheap or easy. Entry level though is only a comparison to other NHRA classes. So the real question is, what is the cheapest class to go NHRA racing?
Stock is NOT it.
I say this because it would of been easier/cheaper to throw a 460/c6 in my fox body and go 10.90 racing. Already have lots of stuff lying around. Heck, throw a ls in it for even cheaper! I love bracket racing and consider stock, the pinnacle (to me). I have zero interest in top fool or other heads up wallet races. Yes I have "junk" and will struggle to hit the index and I'm ok with that.

So, in my opinion, stock is not an "entry level" class, however, the lower classes are "entry level to stock"

Really? Considering you and I haven't had an in person conversation in at least 10 years,, so your claim is just that. I and I alone decided we would try super comp in 2017 and with the help of my friends Scotty Albrecht and Shawn Fricke, we've done very well!

LOL! We met eyes several times but you would not acknowledge. When it happened my first thought was "he said he never would do this" but here he is??? Recently I found out the "truth" which you of course deny and deflect. Have you ever had an original idea?

Scott and Shawn are two great guys and know what their doing. Most of us saw you buy a former SS Bird after watching Shawn do well with his for years running one of Scott's big small blocks which were coming on the scene back then.

More to my point, the cars are not "stock". further you bitch and moan about the rules you don't like while turning a blind eye to the rampant cheating that has been going on for decades. Last like Frank, you think you have some superior knowledge and skill set because you are prepared to pull a head and/or a piston/rod.

The issue is not rather Stock eliminator is the pinnacle of drag racing. Rather, why does a .90 D-Bag such as yourself feel compelled to live on the Stock/Superstock Forum?

Seems as though the "Truth" and "Facts" suggest you are one hell of an attention starved loser

My original comment is that bracket racing is the only real beginners class, be it trophy, street, jrs what have you. But that it is not an nhra class.


Totally agree!

Thank you for trying to talk about the subject at hand. I think sportsman, pro, s/pro is the real beginner classes that spring board you into the NHRA sportsman ranks should you choose to. To go .90 or S/SS racing is a big jump from running your local bracket track. Not necessarily competition wise but money spent, travel, time off work, nicer/faster/upgraded car, better tow rig for long trips and camping. I'd say there isn't a beginner NHRA sportsman class but if I had to choose I'd still say SST because of I reasons I've already stated like low cost of building a competitive car etc.

A fact is indisputable. Facts can be objectively verified and proven through evidence. Facts are not decided by how many people believe in them. They are concrete realities that don’t change. Facts are determined by objective, not subjective, measurement. As evidence mounts, facts become irrefutable. Over time, we acknowledge facts. We don’t create them.

Opinions, on the hand, are value judgments that expresses a feeling or view. They may or may not be supported by facts. Opinions rely on assumptions and are exceedingly dependent on the perspective of those holding them. They are also highly temporal and can change quickly when new information or facts become available. A deep commitment to an opinion doesn’t make it any more or less accurate.

Truth is created by people to describe how things really are. They are best described as a state of belief that is thought to represent a universal reality. We decide what truths we are willing to believe in. Truths don’t have to be logical or verifiable. They simply have to be shared. They can arise from faith, commitment, or experience. When like-minded people agree as to a given reality of how things are, then a truth emerges.
