Nice pictures as always Bob! Earl got some nice ones too. I kind of like the pictures from the pits going to the lanes.

Earl and Kay were the masterminds behind the stocker, I came along late to the party and it was working pretty good already. I have made a few changes but nothing major. It almost works too good on the launch, I have to tie the front end down and leave at a lower RPM to not wheelie so high. I always shift into second before it ever starts to come back down. Have tripped the 60 clocks several times on the back tire. It sure is fun to drive. I can get it .800+ under the index but not no full second like some can do.

I will post a few more pictures I have.

Cool, I recently moved from Div.6 to Div.1, so hopefully I will get to see it sometime in the near future. A racer up here in Eastern Canada bought John Calverts 64 Thunderbolt replica Stocker a couple of years ago, he is hoping to have it track ready soon.

Div 1 is has always been Stock/SuperStock heaven. Lots of killer door cars in the northeast.

Come to a divisional race here it is unreal. There is one at Numidia PA next weekend.

Ron, I raced at the NHRA National Open in Miramichi New Brunswick last weekend. So far the Canada/US border is still closed, so I currently can`t go to any US races yet, but it certainly is in the plans. Hoping to be able to make the Beaver Springs FE reunion, if the borders are open by then. The only Ford stockers at Miramichi were small blocks, a 351C, and a newer Cobra Jet. Only FE there was a 69 Torino 428CJ on the Sunday bracket race.

You should attend a Div7 end of year Vegas race! That's a awesome event! More FE cars in 7 than the rest!
