Real nice Super/Stocker, I ran one of those back in the 70's also.

Hope he does well with it , I'm sure he'll be at E-town this weekend for the Division 1 points race.. :2thumbs:

(update)   sat 9/12 sorry did not get any photos today..

This was his first year racing at that level too. That car is going to go faster next year.

Well,  if they put horsepower on that combo he may have to carry more weight or move up a class too...

A guy name Mike Cotten out west has one and I think he is even faster..
