Hi Jeff,

Since us fwd racers are such a small (but growing) collection of all stockers, and racers who's cars run 13.00 and slower are against the norm (in the winners circle that is), I find myself rooting for them as well as my own slower stocker. Here's what my memory has recanted that I haven't already mentioned:

1. Stan Kopejtka, nearly won the '05 (?) LODRS Bandimere race with his Dodge Omni.

2. Steve Pohill's been in at least 2 final rnd's at divisional pts races back east with his Ford Escort.

3. Linda Sherman ru'd back in about '95 at an Div. 1 Federal Mogul series race with the Chevy Citation that's currently campaigned by one Mr. Randy Hyman...

4. Randy joined an elite group of fwd racers who went late into elim's at the US Nat's.

5. I came close to winning the '06 Mile High's (quarters), and went 4rnds at this yrs Div 7 (race 1), and last years (race 2). with my Z24.

Hope that helps....
