Where did the FWD stockers go?

I've always thought that it would be interesting to look into putting the FWD cars into the RWD classes with a 4-5 lb. per hp. weight break.

Uh ...... That would put my Escort at 440 lbs.

If we add Yac's 26 lb. class, with a 5 lb. break it would weigh 2015, with a 4 lb. break it would weigh 2105. Right now for EF it has to weigh 2370.
I know that those cars are light but I don't know if it could be lightened THAT much!

The Cimarron was in storage for years and I was told it had been stolen. My Spirit (Artie Leongs old car) that I ran for many years I sold after I bought George Widuch's Volare Stocker. The Spirit was completely redone and looks beautiful but as far as I know is just sitting in a garage. I also had a SRT4 Neon that I ran in A/FS but I sold that also. At one time I owned the A-D/FS records all at once. Those little cars are a lot of fun but very difficult to drive competitively. All in all I had 18 National Records, 36 class wins and no race wins. Fun times! Jim
