X /Stock ?

[FireSale]

Derrick Elam runs a Pinto wagon around here in D6. I looked it up and he bought it from Marty Buth. So, there are two who don't laugh at the idea. It's a W/SA. Very clean. One of the first OHC engines in a production car (I think).

I think that was Tom Rieder (Horse Sense) from Michigan I think he worked at ford or was a sub contractor for them those cars were way fast back then.

Haha.. We'll see , but it would be for our local S/SS group. No 6-7 g.p. tour....for sure.

I was going to put this in the main section, but I didn't want Perrone and his wife to see it and get all torqued off.

I can think of at least two good W/Stockers that are just too darn heavy @ 24 lbs.
One is EFI too.
Write me, only if you would actually do it, within a reasonable amount of time.

Does anybody know what happened to or where the Rieder n Wallace cars went ?

Yeah, come on Mark. We could always use another car in the group. I'm sure you know of a car or two that could be an affordable rocket.

Under this proposal, a car that was a natural W car , could drop down to X.

[TGould]

X/S was a 23 lb class until NHRA eliminated X,Y,Z in 1983 to make room for the FWD cars. In 1978 Stan Welch (Hobby Horse ?) set the X/S record at 15.25 and I think won the Gators one year. Or, it may have been Dan Rockwell.

Tom Reider was a Design Engineer at Ford. He and Mel Wallace, a Mechanical Engineer at Ford, formed the Reider and Wallace race team .
