That's cold Mike...I had a '76 Vega too (unfortunately not the Cosworth), and I never had to do that in the 3yrs that I owned the car...2yrs of that being raced on Sunday, and I won one championship, and 7 races out of 8 final rounds (plus a semi-final) in '79 at the Div.V ET Finals held at Marion, Sd. for Team Bandimere! I liked that car so much that I remember the vin...1V77B6U220942, and wish I never would've parted with that car!
Mine had the Durabuilt 140ci 4banger with a Turbo 250 auto tranny. I don't know about racing a stick against you the stocker world in a car like that, but it would've been fun to try? If that car hasn't been scrapped, I'd try to buy it back, and re-incarnate it to what it was, then go forward to a stocker class car!!!
