How about a new "Junior Stocker" Eliminator format where only lower class, maybe I to V Stock run. It seems the higher HP upper class cars always win. just a thought.

What year(s) would it have to be? What engine would be preferred?

My brother Carl shot that video of Danny Rockwell's Pinto from the tower at Connecticut Dragway. In 1981 not a lot of people had video equiptment , which at that time was a suitcase strapped around your shoulder connected to a large camera, so the track thought he was from a TV station or something and let him film from the tower.

I don't know Tom or Sean but I have seen the car around and think that this puppy could be faster than stink. AND it can fit 5 different classes with an intake change.

Man that car is a boat at nearly 4k lbs. Definitely fits the different & unique factor. I would never have imagined hearing the term faster than stink and Imperial used in the same sentence lol.
