Congratulations to Mr. Paquet. Is there anyone today who can compete with him in the FE world, as far as SS goes?

Still rowing the gears at his young age is awesome. I have seen interviews and he still is having fun and doing what he loves.

     He is as sharp as they get on a high riser. I made some parts for him ten years ago that won some races.

Mr Paquet wins ss/a at indy with a real thunder bolt l think its number 30 class wins sure makes hemi and rat look bad. He sure knows how to build a fe.

Ahh, you do know that the HEMI Darts, and Barracuda's have their own class right? The winning car ran 8.30's @ 160mph. The FE isn't going to touch that.

Most stick cars in SS run a Liberty 4 speed. Ray has been running a Jerico with a 5th gear delete. He's had it so long, and it works, so why change?

Only the 1968 Hemi Darts & Cuda’s have their own class, there are other Hemi cars that could run SS/A , correct?
