I'm sure you know Casey Reed, His newer stock daily driver V6 mustangs runs high 13's with drag tires and he has won his fair share of races lately. These should be in the book.

It is 125 c.i. and makes 1300 hp. We own the record for our class at 6.57 at 204. We are constantly trying to get more young people involved in class racing to no avail. They don't like the strict rules to follow and all the aggravation with it. They also like heads-up racing. They will not and most can not spend the money for a 3 day race and a lot of them don't have the time off either. I completely agree that we need to get them involved but don't know how. Most of the fast cars would never fit in a stock type class. As mentioned before they all put turbo's on them to race. They can race at local races and take home more money than any class out there now. Take Honda day at Atco. They have a 2 day race on a Sat and Sunday and turn people away at the gate. I'm willing to bet that not very many of the cars racing are bone stock.

My son raced his Eclipse in the Nopi series and the Sport compact NHRA races and had a great time. Unfortunately, neither one survived mostly because of lack of participation. I applaud any effort to get them involved and offer my help in any way.

We took our share of competitors out :D

There was a beautiful restored and very fast 1972 Chevelle SS running in H/PS.
The car ran almost a second under the index.
and
Gary Burr and wifes 2001 B/PS LS1 Camaro running 7.70 ET

My car managed a .7778 under in the 1/8 mile race.
Made it to Round 4 Saturday and only Round 1 Sunday.
Lost to some guy that may own a Italian Pizza place.

Sunday it started to drizzle after round one and may have been poetic because the race was cancelled and had a long drive home.

The ride was drizzly all the way back to Maryland.
AND
What shoud have taken 2.5 hours took 4 hours.
I really hate I-95 Virginia Traffic ...bumper to bumper most of the way.
At times white knuckle driving as some drivers tailgated all the way up.
Even if it was a tractor trailer rig.

It was a typical sine curve of speed up slow down with constant slow downs.
Much caused from way too much Car Porn Intercoursing going on and the Rubber Necking to view the exchange to Verbal Fluids of information on the safety lane.:rolleyes:

If I'm not mistaken Dan, Corbitt's wagon was a "true" Stock Eliminator car and yes, I believe he sold it. His Pure Stocker was a '95 Impala SS he bought from me many years ago and again, I could be wrong, but I think he and Colby still have it. Last I hear it was collecting dust in his garage. They had Jeff Warren do a motor for it and had it running very well.

Cicero thanks for the good words.

I have two key skills and Engineering Degree from Maryland and been in the professional recruiting field for 40 years.

Formed a Corporate Soccer league in Florida in mid 80's
Know one key thing, It is all about one bite at a time !!

Right Now know the following cars.
H/PS 1972 Chevelle - forgot name
H/PS 1987 Malibu Dennis Roberts - Ohio
H/PS Mustang Steve Klacik - Pennsylvania or Ohio
B/PS 2001 Corvette Steve Kaufmann - Texas
B/PS 2001 Camaro Gary Burr - Virginia
G/PS 1995 ImpalaSS Wagon Corbitt Marshburn - think he sold it. - NC
G/PS 1988 Mustang Rob Butler and Record Holder NC
G/PS 1995 Impala SS my car - Maryl;and

Remembering Pure Stockers from last year
C/PS Camaro white forgot owner
H/PS 1957 Chevrolet
I/PS Mustang


FWIW Pure Stockers are essentially the Stockers of the 80's and 90's with Stock Spring Pressure.

A/PS is about the same ET as E/S and E/SA

Just a more cost effective class and should have the Indexes adjusted to allow for the new and faster cars to run.
