Default Nostalgia Pro Stock race Thompson 7/3/10

John Shapiro from Cruisin' Times magazine, Dave Breedlove and I are putting together a Nostalgia Pro Stock exhibition race to be held at the Independence Eve race at Thompson, 7/3/2010. Many of you will remember that Sox, Jenkins, Booth, Dyno Don, Ron Hutter and others match raced every Independence Eve for years to a packed house.
This will be staged in "matchrace format", headsup, best 2 of 3 after cars are paired up according to ET. We hope to have 6-8 cars that fit the following specs:
1)Any model car that was popular in prostock in the early 70s- Camaro, Vega, Pinto, Maverick, Duster, Demon, Cuda, Challenger.
2) Must be period correct - NO modern scoops
3) Cars must have name such as "Canned Heat" or "Gardner and Evans", etc. painted on or in removal vinyl decals.
4) Any motor but looking for cars that run roughly 9.8-9.4 as we want to replicate ETs from that 70-72 era.
5) Engines to have tunnel ram and 2-4bbls
6) Each car will get (minimum) 500.00 "show up" money to put on an authentic early Pro Stock show- High RPM burnouts through "gold dust", dry hops, "practice launchs" from tree prior to each matchrace.
7)Car crew to wear "uniforms" like teams from 70s
Cars brought in on ramp trucks if at all possible that are begged, borrowed or stolen.
9)Cars/crew will have "promotional" postcards featuring photo of car and stats on back drivers to autograph and give to spectators.
10) All cars to have manual transmissions. No automatics.

Think it can't be done ? We have 3 period correct cars committed already:

1) The original "Canned Heat" 68 Camaro of Ron Hutter - now owned by John Svoboda. 427, 2-4bbl tunnelram, 5 speed Nash. Runs low 9.60s
2) The "Marfizo & Furmanchik" 73 Duster. 340, 2-4bbl tunnelram, 5 speed Nash. Runs low 9.70s
3) The "Painkiller" 72 Duster. 368, 2-4bbl tunnelram, Jerico 4 speed. Runs mid 9.70s

If you would like to participate and have a car that may fit the class,
