Yes, A/FX was in comp elim. Created basically to get the Pro Stocks out of the altered classes back in the late 70's early 80's-ish era.

A/FX ??? HUH - back in the mid-70's - some of the ProStock guys wandered into Comp/Eliminator-- people like Carlton, Sox, and others - this was when the Chrysler race programs had died. NHRA did not like that a bit, as Carlton was ruling COMP - so NHRA decided that if you had one of those cars, they created a new couple of classes - A/FX - B/FX - etc. the same car but a lower index. That is the reason Carlton built the stretched Colt.

I seen that car do about 5 couplete 360's at the top end of the Valley in 1983 or so .

Ended up in the grass on wheels ..Lucky it never got on its lid

Local antique store has a very cool, Dodge Colt ad sign from when the were importing them

Its nice, double sided ..wants $750 I think the lady might drop down a bit on it

I'm gonna try to put the Colt back together this winter - it hasn't run since the early 80's when it was sold to a guy in WV. It was an Arrow Dynamics-built Colt (Denver) - built in 1976 for Larry Maas here in Neb, he ran it as a Hemi/4-speed in A/Gas, later put a PG in it. Still has the original Dana/ladderbar, etc.
Thanks for the tip on the sign - I do have one already.
Many Thanks,
Reed in Neb.
