Best way to get into SS racing

Chevelle6966 · 07-02-2007, 01:10 PM

I have been bracket racing on and off for about 20 years and am interested in getting into class racing, how would be the best way to get started. I know that everyone on this board has a wealth of knowledge and I would like any input you all have. I currently have a 66 ElCamino Bracket car and a69SS396 Chevelle, and a 67 327 powered Malibu (awaiting future use). Thanks for the help in advance.

My recommendation to start out is to buy a complete car. Get one from someone who has actually attended some national and divisional races.
Make arrangements to pick it at the track after you have seen it run
the numbers you expect.

Buying someones car is way cheaper than starting from scratch and there
are some good cars out there at a reasonable price

I might have just what you want. My 88 Cutlass is for sale. SS/GT, national record holder fast and consistant. Has won 2 points races this year. Give me a call if serious. 717-215-5777 Tim

Thanks guys I knew I could cont on some solid advice from you. Tim do you still race this car if so when will you be running it next. I guess I should just give you a call. Thanks again.
