Super Stockers are some of the most unassuming race cars you’ll see at the track. On the surface, they look like your standard bracket car, but as with anything in racing, it’s what’s under the surface that really matters. These cars are built like miniature Pro Stock machines, but they wear a street car body.
The most technologically advanced Super Stock builds are front-wheel-drive conversions. To start one of these projects, you basically have to strip the car down to nothing but a shell. In many cases, builders even round up several donor cars to complete a single build due to parts availability. From there, it’s time to start building a high-level chassis that rivals what you’d see in a Pro Mod, all while adhering to the tight Super Stock rulebook.
When you look at one of these cars from the outside, the only giveaways to their extreme performance are the big slicks out back and, in some cases, a set of wheelie bars. Under the hood, you’ll find a wide variety of engine combinations designed to fit within specific Super Stock classifications.
Every inch of these cars is examined and optimized for Super Stock competition. Since the rules leave very little room for interpretation, each builder has to incorporate every legal trick possible to stay competitive. The end result is some of the most finely crafted race cars you’ll find at any drag strip.
In this video, Andy Kronenbitter from PK Race N Rods breaks down exactly what goes into building one of these incredible Super Stock machines.
