School me on Stock Eliminator?
For what it is worth, I live in NC and we are blessed to have both NHRA and IHRA tracks. If you do not want the expense of NHRA stock, look at the NMCA and other organizations that run nostalgia stock and Super Stock classes. Their rules are not as restrictive. Also a "crate" motor style car will give you more options and parts that are legal. Micheal Beard, IHRA World Champion and Record Holder has a web site called the "Staging Light" Mike is very friendly and has given me a lot of insight into racing stock. We are also lucky in that several of the local bracket tracks run a Stock/SuperStock combo series of races. I am building a 440 Duster with an "IHRA Spec" style crate motor for bracket racing and I hope the combo's. It won't be competitive for class racing but it will run the combo's.
Good Luck!
