A co-worker of mine at a plant in Greenwood, Indiana that no longer exists. Bought a new one in 1975. Raced him with my 74 Pinto 2000cc 4 cyl. His V8 beat me but not by much. Maybe a fender or so.

Another point to consider. How many people build their own cars today? They ain't no ready made cars for the lower classes! Maybe we can take a page from the local dirt track racers. Take our dime rockets and run a "Bomber Stock" class. Run N thru W, with the FWD classes thrown in as well.

Count me in Robert...this down time from metro Phoenix having any drag strips to enjoy racing at since March, has given me time to get my financial house in better shape (pay isn't going up, so debt needs to go down!), and hopefully the new owners of IHRA will have a D7 Pro-Am series to look forward to next year (they have enough tracks, so why not)?

I also like that '67 Dodge Coronet that was recently posted...more Mopars to ponder are cool! My guess is that had a 273 V8, and I like that body style almost as much as the '63-'65 Belvedere/Savoy/Fury/Coronet bodies!!!
