I have been fairly well acquainted with the John and Marka Gallina for a number of years. Their turbo-charged stockers were always very fast on the index for whatever class they ran. They could paper several rooms at their house with record certificates. Alan is correct, they used up head gaskets often but then, they were usually pulling a head for a record teardown at every race so it was a regular drill. Marka usually drove the stocker but she had to contend with leaving the starting line when the turbo was spooled to the proper level and that made cutting a light problematic. When they had the car hopped up, it was a bear to drive consistently.
