Pure stock racing is underrated in my opinion. It seems like everybody gives all the attention to midgets, sprints, and late models. Don't get me wrong, I like them all.
Some of the best and coolest guys in racing are the pure stock drivers.
This is so awesome you got on video I was 11 when I got my first race car is a full size mini stock mustang that I raced on a quarter mile Bull Ring asphalt track and I cried when Mom and Dad pulled up in the driveway with it for me to go racing and they tricked me too they said it was my mom's new race car at first and led me on for a good 15 minutes because it was a brand new mini stock m dad just built at one of the other racers shops to hide from me as a bday present in June. Went out for my first race ever no practice just learn how to use the clutch and I literally won the damn thing out of 20 cars so this kid is going to have a blast I know it and you just gave him an addiction for life. Not a bad looking little pure stock to start with cuse it will look like it been through a demo derby after first season lol. I know mine did my doors and finish all beaten but it was an asphalt track too and it was a tiny little quarter mile but still I would always be getting bumped or actually door swiping somebody a little bit and not really reckon them but just bumping lightly but that's part of small quarter mile Bull Ring racing too. And racing teaches any kid responsibility and being reliable and dependable as well cause you gotta be dedicated to your racecar if you wanna race and be competitive or even have fun cuse learning the back is not fun every night and I made sure every race I went to I was not going to be a field I'd be a top three or top four car every night even if that meant staying up till 6:00 in the morning on Saturday then going the track with no sleep for 48 hours after me and Dad don't work on the car to get it set up right because it has some issues. We worked out of a two car wood built shop at behind house with insulation and air conditioning and down here in south you need AC in race shop cuse you get more work done and if you are a construction worker and out in heat all day you won't go work on racecar in heat all night after work
Looks great. my local track took out the mini stock class now if you want to race you will need a sprint car or a late model or a thunderstock or a modified
Best uncle ever I been racing since I I was 10 and my dad's brother my uncle is a multi millionaire and he knew that we didn't have the money like the bigger teams did and we was still winning tons of races in modifieds and latemodels but he never once sponsored me a dime but claims to be a race fan, and when I ran my first and only arca race he expected me to let him know pits with me at Daytona as a crew member so he could have unlimited access cuse we raced that one the day before on Friday before the truck race and the nascar Daytona 500 weekend years and years ago and I said nope cuse this was something that money can't buy and he was mad
