Default Re: Where did the FWD stockers go?

Jim Wahl races H/SA, Mark Poole races F/SA, Mark Yacavone helped build a Dfs with Alex Kadar, Bill O Conner still going strong after all these years....and of course that Gary Hampton guy races Dfs also. In D3 Ron Seibenick has at least 2 FWD in competition and Steve Pothole parked his FWD when he went Competition Elminator racing. Of course my favorite of all time was Brian Olsons Ford Escort.....Escort Service....

How many FWD combos never were built because they aren't even in the Classification Guide? Ford, for example, has had no legal FWD cars since the 1997 model year (meaning both weight and engine specs). Dodge and Chrysler have nothing since 2004, not even the Dart used in Pro Stock. Chevrolet is the most recent, with the 2008 Cobalt, and that is already eight years old.

Mr. Jackson, do you have something against beer cans? I haven't hoisted one recently, but I think they're made from aluminum. Jeff T. would know probably.

Even more rare the FWD Super Stockers! I think I'm the only one left remotely active (Neon). Art Leong has his car (Neon) for sale, Ron Seibenick (Calais) has one that he's only had out a couple times in the last few years, Carl Mosier also had one a few years ago (Sunfire) that he ran IHRA and that's all I'm aware of in the last 5+ years.

I still have my DF/S Turismo, although it's been resting in Billy Nees's shop for several years. It's for sale. http://classracer.com/classforum/showthread.php?t=34200

Thanks for the chuckle Mr Derby City, but I am curious as to why Jim and Mark's class designations were listed with all caps, but Mark/Alex and mine weren't listed as DF/S? Haha

I have a few more for this thread:
1. Larry Dowty raced a Pontiac Grand Am in Super Stock, but I think it's either sold, or for sale.
2. Randy Hyman raced a Citation Stocker, but sold it and has been racing a Chevy Truck for about 2yrs.
3. Stan Kopejtka, also has/had an Aries Stocker.
4. I don't remember the guys name, but I faced (and got dusted by) a Dodge Daytona Turbo, back in the early 2000's when my combo was factored too hard (B&CF/SA). That car was street legal, and had Colorado plates on it to prove it.
5. Gary Gokey has his turbo Dodge Omni still, and he might bring it back out of storage, but I am not sure?
6. Lisa Stephenson has her Olds Delta 88 Stocker, but I think it's for sale too....

So when Alex and I beat those "Big Boy cars" (and we will), then what will that make our cars (or all other FWD active race cars for that matter)? I know, how about the Little Boy Cars That Did (although neither Alex or I are little) or the David who slayed Goliath Cars????
