My cars main problem is lack of funds to go to more races, and the summer schedule here in the desert doesn't help with my storage issues either....I'm working on that. My bet is that either Michael Beard, Stan Kopejtka, or Jody Lang will be the next slower roller to do it, and Michael or Stan being the next one to do it with a 14sec. or slower stocker....

Gary cars like yours are what I'm talking about, we need more of them. I can remember talking to the late Steve Taylor many years ago when he was winning all those races against much faster pure race car with his street driven Z 24's, he couldn't believe that there wasn't more front wheel drive cars in stock eliminator, he thought that if you cut a half decent light the other much faster car would have more than 60% chance to red light.lol Guy's and gals take your slower race car out of your garages and fill the lanes. Nice to see the Fletchers racing their great looking Chevelle Station wagon and winning rounds. Claude
