Started racing in Stock with this car in 1994. Set the BF/S record @ 14.13 on a tired engine and AF/S record @ 13.26 on a fresh engine. First 13 second FWD stocker and first over 100 MPH. A/C still functioning. That's because I still drove it on the street. Mustangs hated it!

Dwight,
Well written (as always)!

Same old story, locked up in chassis prison. They are in process of "remodeling" the shop (which is a good thing) and moving all of the machine shop over to where my car is. And of course the car is in pieces. I'm being promised September-October. Doesn't matter right now to me...real estate is sooooooo slow I wouldn't race right now if I could. 110% goal is debut at first D7 race in 09 with any issues ironed out.

LOVE IT!!! I've been told to get a utility trailer and drive the Shadow to the div. meets, bolt on the slicks, have fun, swap back out and "hopefully" drive home.

I know back when you did it, there wasn't near the knowledge or support we have now. That 13 was a nice feat back then.

I of corse don't like this new fastest rule, but we are out of the fight.
It doesn't look good to me, as I still think NHRA will move stk into ss within 2 yrs...

Happend before. Had to change my car over to Super Stock then. Other than the pistons, we were more stock than what guys are running now. Stock lift, duration and valve spring specs. Put light pistons in a present day Stocker and you would have a very good Super Stocker in the '70s. A couple of years later NHRA came out with Pure Stock, I was roundy-round racing then so I don't know how long that lasted before Stock came along again. Would not suprise me at all to see it happen again.
