I drove a super fast 4-door SIMCA (65 i think) painted rally green...
International travel-all 70 model......Used to drive it to Rockingham to spectate and baked potatoes on the intake manifold on the way to the track....

Bill O`Connor`s Omni. One of the three times I ever chased in Stock. Any time I chase in this class,it`s odd!

Bracket race at MIR around 2000 or so, a guy over there had a old alky funny car that he had put a blown small block chevy in and would run 7:20's. I ran him with my stocker, with 8 cars left and won...Ironically enough Frank Gugliotta (now running Pro Stock) gave me the left or right option (turn when leaving the gate), the next round with his Top Sportsman car and went on to win it. Now Dave Audet, who sometimes still races his 69 Camaro F/SA car was there in his toyota dialed a 19:22 against the old funny car earlier that day. That was the oddest run i've ever seen....

A 3 cylinder 2 stroke Saab back in the late 60s at Miami Dragway. The guy was claiming the single carb HP but running the 3 carb Rally pak motor. My partner went down to his shop and got him BSing about his car & he told him about the dopes he was outrunning every week with the K/S 59 Biscayne. He was then introduced to the half owner/dope of said 59, never showed up again either.

A diesel tractor during a Gamblers' race at Englishtown. Even in my street car I spotted him something like 7 seconds.

A Ford dump truck at Etown back in the mid 1980's.

Hey Lane, I'm still waiting for that day to happen once for me (being able to chase someone in Stock)! Who knows, if by Monday afternoon the remaining 6 (of 8) cars set for the Stock Automatic Combo runoff get like class entries (or if the ladder works out to pair us together), then I'll have a chance to race Bill so I can find out what it feels like to be on the other side of a tortoise and hare race...that'll be an oddity for sure!!!
