Jim Caughlin SS/ES
Congrats for the runner up, BTW does anyone have any info on the combination Jim runs. I searched on Auto Imagery and found a pic of a beautiful white car looked like a pinto running SS/compact back in the early 2000's. I assume this was a 2300 pinto engine. The qualifying sheets for the Div 6 race said a ford Escort. I was unable to find anything or pics of the car on the web. I enjoy seeing a "thinking out of the box" off the beaten path combination do well. Don Jackson

Re: Jim Caughlin SS/ES
Jims likely still driving home (JK, he lives close enough that he could drive his car to the track at Woodburn!) Jim ran a Pinto for many years, but for the past few years, he has been running his Escort. (RWD conversion, Jim built.) It has a 2.3L Ford 4 cylinder, and a G Force 5 speed, and a lot of RPM. The Pinto is taking a nap in the garage.

Here's the car at the first Combo race at Pacific Raceway. It was the number one qualifier.
