Instead, I have a Bracket car that I race at a local track (when I have the time, and am able), a Vortech, low boost... 10 psi) 360 Magunum-powered '72 Valiant 4-door that goes mid elevens @118 mph, and am partners in a new, experimental slant six-powered 1964 Valiant that will be a high-boost (30+ pounds) turbocharged car that is stilll being put together at my racing partner's garage. It's (as well as my other, supercharged car) run under the same starting-line protocol as a Stocker would be, so I am subject to a first red light rule, just like everybody else, until it is changed (if it ever is.... doubtful.) Here are some pix of these cars and their engines, That's me in the white coat...

Thanks for your interest!
Nice Cars/engines Bill!
