My neighbor Earl runs F/SA with a 68 340 FB Barracuda...Having lunch with him tomorrow..
I bought a set of X head castings from him last year for this project. The 894 heads are not the best head to run. The quickest F/SA 340 in the country runs a different head that flows much better as does a certain six pack car(when he runs steel heads). I have known Earl for years he has spent a lot of money and blown up a lot of parts.

A few years back, the top stock eliminator qualifier, at Indy, was a turbo PT Cruiser. Charlie Blossom, drove the car there too. Just shows what you can do if you pick the right combo. He got a bunch of HP for his effort, but was still 1.5 under at Earlville the next weekend.

http://classracer.com/classforum/forumdisplay.php?f=11Zac Ross had a 1972 Charger for sale for $20k, but it looks like it is sold. You might look on the Classracer classifieds and RacingJunk under Stock/SS cars for sale. Matt Welker has his 1968 SS/AH Cuda for sale if you come into money. Joe Teuton has one of his for sale as well.

Bob Mazzolini has a Mopar A/SA for sale, if you have $79K in your budget. Saw the car run at Fontana last year, beautiful piece as all of Bob’s cars are. West coast cars are generally a bit higher priced...Tom Nolan has been trying to sell his Hemi car for quite a while, he has his usual large fleet. Subscribe to Warren Evans YouTube channel (D3TV) and you can probably see one or both in action at Vegas this fall.

That's why motorhomes and trailers with living quarters are popular with racers who travel a lot. It can save on hotel bills and travel time. But that's a big initial investment too. "IF" I can ever afford to do so, I'd like to be able to get a 42-44' gooseneck with a bathroom package and a sleeping area above the gooseneck to sleep at the track & truck stops. A small fridge and microwave would help but I always bring a BIG cooler filled with ice and food. You can still use a dually to go into town if time allows and is useful at home. I just took delivery of an Intech trailer exactly like you described. Pretty expensive piece but very cool. https://www.flyingamotorsports.com/default.asp?page=xInventoryDetail&id=5203687 Nice. I'd take white with an escape door and could leave off a couple options to save a few bucks. I would have ordered it a bit differently but this one was a demo that was used for 6 months. They took about 20 grand off of the new trailer price. It has a few scratches and scuffs but the 20 grand discount made this a great deal.

Since the thread has gone off course this far....while in north Indiana getting some paint work on my Motorhome I called and got a tour of both InTech and ATC which are located within a mile of each other in Nappanee. They have very different manufacturing processes with InTech being more “old school” and many more Amish craftsmen. They offer almost infinite customization, but both are great and I’d heartily recommend touring both before ordering either since they are a sizable investment. Don’t know about other all aluminum trailer manufacturers but if you plan on using it a long time they are far better investments. Gold Rush is generally the gold standard.
And yes, you can find great buys on class cars by visiting ClassRacer and Racing Junk; have bought and sold several on them. Think ClassRacer offers the advantage of easily seeing the seller’s history by reviewing his/her other posts and you can substantiate claimed performance using Nitro Joe’s stats and DRC. Clicking "like" on this post.

It has a few scratches and scuffs but the 20 grand discount made this a great deal. I am pretty sure this was ordered for one of the Street Outlaw guys and it was supposed to be white. He used it until they could get him the same trailer in white. I bought a trailer from Flying A in 2001 and would not hesitate to buy another one from them. (Its nothing like this one!).
