Toyota in Super Stock

[JB3]

Was looking over the Pomona entry list. Maybe I am just too young (early 40's), but is this a first in NHRA history?

Is it front wheel drive? Let's hope he doesn't break an axle, spill fluid and hold everything up for the other racers.

He ran it in Comp at Pomona last year

Looks like they couldn't get it under the index... I say good luck. These guys (import racers) spent a lot and deserve a place to race.

I'm glad the NHRA is opening doors for those guys/gals, if they can run the numbers....Bring it!

Scott is a old time VW racer that worked his butt off and got a factory Toyota deal. His father Larry ran his VW in Super Gas a few years ago. They do a pretty good job for Toyo and Toyota.

Justin, I'm pretty sure you remember his Fastback. It looked like his Toyota and was also called the Toyo Tires Bullet....

L/A is a tougher class than most people think. I am pretty sure they got it closer to the index than the run that you listed, but running a FWD car in a class that has had it's index lowered by one heck of a smart guy in a RWD car he has been running for a really long time isn't an easy thing to do.

Naa--back in the 70's there was a great class called modified compact. Chopped + channeled Karmin Ghias about knee high--Paula Murphy drove a Datsun--and i seem to remember a front engine Datsun dragster winning comp around that time also? Id love to see some old pics to jog my memory.

Won't be a problem with scott. He's a tough competitor and runs a top notch team with his father. He is a hitter at the lights too. Good luck scott!

I met Scott dad when we raced Al's F/D at Topeka in 2005. They are good folks and I wish them well. That car was not competitive in comp, so I'm glad to see them try SS-I hope they do well there.

I think any class in Comp is tough, you had better have some $$$ in those motors or your gonna be on the wrong side of the number pretty quick!

Actually the guy Frederick is talking about (Allyn Armstrong) is so smart, he didn't spend anywhere as much on his motor (he built it himself) as you'd think.

Hey Gary... Of course I do. I can see it in my head.
