Oh hell yeah...it has the rare 9.0 liter four-OHC four valve twin turbo ''Oldsrock'' motor.

I had the better light by .017, and I think I led by about two inches in that race. Bucky was across the finish line before I was at the 1/8 mile. I petitioned to be able to compete in the Hemi Shootout that weekend, but my pleas fell on deaf ears.

LOL! As long as he hadn't reached his pit space yet, then there is no harm done. Neat car for sure though.

Sean, looks to me like he's giving Bucky a half car before he leaves......this thing must be real fast!

I remember a guy running in the AHRA in MP with a 1950 Stude coupe with a Pontiac Sprint OHC six 4bbl motor and a Corvette 4 speed and a '56 olds rear.

Don't remember the times but it was quick and held track records all over Texas....he drove it on the street also.

Well, this wasn't a Stocker, but this was the weirdest thing I ever saw: Hot Rod magazine, way back, had an article about a '40 or ';41 Willys coupe that had a supecharged V8 under the hood that was force-fed pressurized air from a GMC blower that was driven by a 4-cylinder industrial engine of some kind. The blower and the auxialliary engine were both in the TRUNK!!!

It was called "Blown by Proxy".... lol!

Strange, indeed...

LOL. Not that fast. Been -.97 under with it (14.93 on a 15.90). Actually, I did leave first on Bucky by about a hundreth and a half. Meaning, against his car, I led the race for the first, oh, six inches or so, maybe.

In the '70's there was a guy racing in the AHRA that was running a four cylinder ChevyII...but it wasn't the standard 4cyl.

It was a 283 cut in half with a hand made manifold with a Carter backed by a 4 speed with a '58 Olds rear.

It sounded really strange and ran well. Wish I had paid more attention to the engineering.
