Believe you me. I have recieved some "pointers" in the last couple weeks! Hell I've been straight up told what I HAVE to do? Though not one from a person that has ever set up a El Camino, they are well intentioned, and I do listen and appreciate their input. I highly doubt that I can scale out this big old heavy A body like their little B and G bodies and it work? My daughter took this car to college, I knocked the glass out of this car, there is not a tube bend, cope, weld, bracket. pedal, bolt loose or tight that I didn't do. I'm in this for the fun and the challenge, haven't a **** to give about my name being on a points list. I'll be doing every thing I can to win every race I'm in, but, I'm not going to buy it. I already feel as I've won. Have a little over 8k making this a race car. That blue car behind it in the picture cost over 75k. I appreciate what you offer, and your right, I appreciate the folks at the track (most of them) and we will be able to run with them when we get it figured out.You gotta make friends in that class and get some driving and set up pointers. Or find someone that could scale it. Is there a gear ratio rule? These stock classes can be brutal with a lot of rules. My buddy runs factory stock class and the rear has to be 3.08. But, you need that tach.
I grew up in a stock car family, but it was asphalt.
And, no gear rules running 620's in a 9in Ford and a Saginaw, yup I built the drive shaft and put the gears in the rear.
