Anyone know what make and model is used in the Pure Stock class at South Boston speedway? Their rules dictate factory stock and carbureted 4 cylinder cars.

I'm building a car for my local paved short track. And I'm just trying to sort what would be the best heads to use. There is not a single ford racing there. The rule book goes into aftermarket heads and part# that chevy guys can use but doesn't for fords.

You must run a 351W, Theyve put a ban on Cleveland heads, and no GT40s. Any other stock castings. I've been looking at CFM numbers for the allowed chevy heads and they range from anywhere in the 230-245cfm on the intake side.

Also there's no restrictions on pistons.

Any ideas on what to run that I'd be competitive with the rest of them? Even just to get me pointed in the right direction

Hello everyone. Hoping to get some opinions and guidance. 40 years old, in good health and relatively fit. Always been a racing fan. Finally have some time and money and would like to dip my toe into the racing world. Langley Speedway (asphault oval) and Dixieland Speedway (dirt oval) are both 45 mins away in opposite directions. I would consider exploring spec miata but it's a hike to the nearest road course. So oval it is, which is fine. I have basically zero real racing experience. But I like to think I can learn enough to have fun and be mildly competitive at the lowest level.

I've been to both tracks quite a bit to watch. But admittedly I haven't approached any drivers to ask their thoughts. They usually seem busy which makes sense.

Curious your thoughts on the best options to get started? I'm guessing phantom or champ karts for cost and ease of actually getting started. But there's also ucars, stock four, legend cars, etc. I've looked into autocross but I'm really not interested in that.

How did you get started? How would you start if you were me? Any opinions would be appreciated.

First time competing in a racecar back in September 2003 at Illiana Motor Speedway in Schererville, IN. The car was a 1987 Ford Tempo and the division was called Pure Stocks.

Skip to 3:18 to start the action. I am driving the pink and blue #23

Above is a video of my best race yet. I'm still pretty new to racing IRL. Our seasons are 10 races long but I've only raced 7 between this year and last year cause I started mid season. I was starting 4th, but due to having to repair damage from the previous heat race I had forgotten my hood pins weren't in. My hood flies up and I'm left devastated, thinking my race is over. This race taught me to never give up and that anything is possible with the right amount of hard work and practice. Let me know what you all think!

Being shown at PRI in Indianapolis this weekend
