I never got to talk to anyone connected with this car. I had some questions. At the time I drove this vintage LaBaron. I just wonder. What is done to a car like this to get it into Stock Class racing? I would just love to get into it in a few years from now. My kid will be out of High School and my business that I started a year ago, I hope it will be well off of the ground by then. I would love to do some Div 7 racing.
Thanks for any input.

Matt, In 2004 ,that car was owned by Ed O'Brien and driven by Neil Smedley.
I don't believe Ed posts here anymore. Neil pops in from time to time.
Mike Cotton also knows a bit about that car. He is here also.
My opinion is that cars like this are too powerful to be consistent in S/E...and too fast !
