I see I'm not the only one going old school.
Been running around with my 28 year old single wheel c.c. this year pulling my $ 2,500 cargo trailer. It's not even a real car hauler, but it works.
I would love to have a newer dually, but have decided to spend the money for now to build another '95 Mustang GT to run in P/SA.
90 % of the parts on that car will be used.

Anyone got a used 5.0 Stocker cam ?

Good luck Dan. ANYTHING that would make more racers jump in with both feet would be a help. Factory stock or Pure stock has been pretty dead after all that was done in the years past to satisfy the players. Nothing much seemed to help bring in more entries. Like the idea of certified cams as tear down for a cam check is a pain in the butt.

It's a funny thing that you should bring up Truman in regards to Pure Stock. Ask Terry or Danny Waters to tell you about Ts Pure Stockers and you can figure out for yourself why what you are asking for won't fly!

Nice looking rig Brent !

I've always liked that body style Chevy Duallie.

Here's my outfit for next year for the 2-3 day events.
Paid 2500 for the truck and 3500 for the lightweight slide-in camper.

Hello X-tech welcome back.......I am a fan but I like this idea of pure stock. How about a street stock for division level based on the legal street races they have on Friday nights. Car has to be street legal to state laws just a dial in so you won't have to have major teardown and inspections. That may bring in the younger car crowd and older guys that don't want to chase the major races.
