Hi Bob,

Sorry about the delay in responding; work has been hectic. Now that I think of it, you were probably slightly ahead of my time. My father started racing in 1971, but raced mostly at South Glens Falls and Lebanon Valley early on. It was more like 1973 before he started concentrating more on Epping. What was FO Stock? I remember the Top Stock and Jr. Stock eliminators at Epping under the AHRA rules, along with trophy classes. Do you still go to Epping? If so, stop by my trailer sometime. Either a 69 Super Bee, 80 Mirada, or 71 Road Runner, white enclosed trailer with "B-D-R Transport" on the sides.

Greg

Greg:
Sorry for the late response my son told me this evening that you had responded - FO Stock (Factory Optional) back then in the beginning of the year(1971) you had to retain stock lower end you could cc the heads and a cam of 425 lift was also legal along with any rear gear - mid season the rear gear was limited to either 4:56 or 4:88 and I can't remember which it was the Cuda had a new Process 4 speed and an 8 3/4" rear and although it was not the fastest it was a blast to drive 12.9 @109 funny with today's technology I am sure it would be a much faster car - hek our Dakota 318 M/SA has ran faster before we put the FAST System in so who know's but I can tell you we had a lot of fun back then with Dave Berube as the starter if my memory serve's me correctly with his red & white hat - Ya Buddy I Loved those "SUNDAY SUNDAY" COMERCIALS as well I hope to be at the MOPAR race on Saturday the 19th for the first time out with our Dakota after a lot of updates maybe we will see you there - Bob
