Tom, kudos for racing something outside of the norm, and Jeff you too with your AMX (and even you too Billy with the 6banger(s) you raced)...that's always been my preferrence when money dictates what I can/can't race. If I had to do it all over again, I'd either have gone after an AMC Rambler (especially the late 60's like yours Tom), or a Rebel. However, I also liked the Hornet's, the Concord's, and the Spirit's. Thanks to Cliffords Research, I could've built up one of them quite nicely (and had a car similar to Ed's Gremlin), or had a V8 midsize car (the Rebel) that I don't know of anyone racing such in Stock or Super Stock...
Who knows, when (if) my checkbook budget expands, I may give AMC a whirl with another car...nothing wrong with having two stockers, it worked for Jim Hughes, and it also works for Michael Beard....that said, I'll always be a Mopar guy in disguise, and there's some combos out there that aren't being raced, that could work and be fun to try racing with?
Ed, that's a race that I'd even like to see, and another reason to consider an AMC for me (when the budget would allow), because I like racing something against the norm, always have and always will....
