I’m 16 and have no prior racing experience. To get started I’m thinking of running either to turbo or pro stock series. My local track is Illiana Motor Speedway. Any other info on getting started would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

can i run e85 in a 12.5to1 smallblock v8 without changing the entire carb? i currently use 106 octane race fuel and i was wondering if i could just change metering blocks and air bleeds to run e85?

The rules for the engine is it has to be a stock American made four cylinder, with no more than 2 valves per cylinder. Im looking at Pontiac sunfire engines and cavalier engines from 2001 and older. Also, could I swap a sunfire engine into a cavalier pretty easily or is it going to be a big pain? I found a 2.4L LD9 I4 motor, how many valves are in each cylinder? I figured if you could answer my main question these would be pretty easy. Thanks,

Aaron
