For anyone who enjoys the slower stockers, you'll appreciate our "They May Be Slow" thread. Here's the link.... http://www.colesy-juniorstockforum.c....php?f=4&t=142
Here you will find the three photos of Stan's cars posted above as well as many other photos and a couple of feature articles on Stan's Hobby Horse Pinto.

Last i heard was somewhere in Florida.

Kenny Koonce Sr comes on here sometimes and he may know how to get up with Stan.

They used to have a Hi-Performance parts store here in Kinston , NC together ( K & S Hi -Performance)

Slo stock, its nice to hear that you got out with the wagon. I hope it is running well.

As far as competitive Pinto's still in existence (outside of slo stock's car) there is one in D3 that is pretty competitive...and a stick shift to boot. It has not been in the 14's as some have suggested may be possible, but it has qualified at Indy every year since the rule changed to 128 quickest cars versus their index and some of those fields have been pretty stout.
