Mike Jeffrey's '80 Diplomat. 225 Slant 6, 2 bbl, went 1.2 under at the Kearney Open last year. I passed on buying the car a year before Mike got it because I thought the combination was a turd.

How about Clem LaChance's SS/CX , 6 cyl. Ford Maverick. Has gone 10.50s with the old man at the wheel. Turns 77 yrs. young this May. He used to give the likes of Bob Newberry and Al Hofmann a run for their money before they went Funny car racing in the 70's while running Modified Elim.

10.50s with an inline 6 Ford? Where can I find pics on LeChance's car? Which engine does he use, the 240/300 big block or the small block 200/250 style?

It's based on the 240/300 family; I'll find a link to some pictures.
