Getting into Stock Racing

Ellis V. Buth · 12-16-2008, 07:18 PM

2008 was also my first season in stock (although I only ran 3 times), but I have been driving down to the home track every weekend for three years in my street truck to hone my skills. There is nothing better for a person who will be racing against some of the best (especially if they have a really slow car) to do. Find a good reliable street vehicle to race on weekends you don't have a stock race, (if you make it a truck then it serves as dual purpose...I towed my brothers car to the track all year). Or even better race your stock eliminator car at the home track, which will familiarize you more with your car. Stock eliminator is full of great people and very good racers. Experience and a reliable car are necessary to be successful in the eliminator.
