Default Re: Where did the FWD stockers go?

Going to jump into this FWD scene this year with both feet! Have a good car, just need to figure out how to drive it! Quite a bit different than leaving on the bumper in the wagon. It seems that a 14 second stocker is way harder to drive than the super stock car. Looking forward to some warm weather testing, -37 degrees last night with wind chill. Getting old fast!!

No lie.
Alex had his 10.0 GTO out a couple weeks ago, after 7 years.
He said it was like driving a Cadillac down the boulevard , after driving the Monte.

Harold Morgan, still runs his Escort mainly in the south and at IHRA tracks. I heard he was moving back to Ft Lauderdale from Georgia a while back

I still have the Achieva and Calais . Running the Achieva with a SOHC head at this time. Have a Super Stock Quad 4 engine on the engine stand, waiting for time on the dyno before putting it in the Calais.

There is a Daytona stocker sitting in a field in Texas. It was a former record holder and won class many times. Shame it is rotting away.
