Thanks Tommy.

This was after the Winternationals in 1972 where I won SS/GA class and broke out on the brakes first round of eliminations. I stayed out there 5 weeks and raced at Bakersfield and Las Vegas and made one run at Orange County with an 11.18 ET on a 11.43 record. Alex Walordy was doing a story that come out in Rodder and Super Stock magazine Sept. 1972. In that photo I was on top of I-10 trying to get the wheels off the ground for the magazine story. That photo did appear in the magazine and again in Mustangs & Fords magazine in December 2007.

Rusty,
Do you think you will finally get to race your Fairlane in 2016? Been a long time coming. Any updates? Going to start on my Fairlane Wagon over the Winter.

I would like to race it at the NMCA race in Bradenton next year if possible. It's sitting in storage at this time. My problem is time and money.

At this time I have decided to put together a 428 from a lot of the left over parts I have and race the Fairlane in Nostalgia Super Stock at NMCA events. I can always build an NHRA legal SS engine at a later date.

You will have a blast with NMCA Rusty. You might even consider the Nostalgia Muscle car class.

I still need a few parts but I have a few new parts: JPT converter and C4 for an FE, strange center section with a 4:86 and 35 spline spool and Hooker race headers.

Doing a Great Job on the build so far!
