Thank you for the link and information. Special thanks to 69 Cobra for serving our country!! Be safe and make that future stocker a reality!! Charley-I was at Stanton points meet and got a chance to look your car over. Beautiful car!! Was going to talk with you about car but you appeared busy so did not want to interupt. I'm 57 years old and attended first drag race at Martin 131 dragway in 1964 and saw Dyno Don Nicholson's 427 Comet race the Melrose Missle. I was hooked at 10 years old!! I tried running a 428 cj in the mid 70's on a true shoestring budget , it did not turn out good. So went bracket racing. As I am approaching retirement and my wife is disabled from a car crash, I will never be able to go racing again. I LOVE sportsman racing and my day at Stanton or the US Nationals is my once a year fix. I get to live racing through reading this forum and enjoy learning about the cars and owners. You are right Charley -- if I had $60k to go racing I would be there in a heartbeat but I don't so asking questions and learning about all the new high tech stuff keeps me involved. I woull like to say Thank You to Ford and Dodge for breating new life into this sport!! That 427 Comet from 64 was no different than todays CJ's and it got my dad excited enough to take me to the races--Thank you dad!!
