The Sandy Elliot Ford Drag Racing Team was a
powerful force in the NHRA Super Stock Eliminator class in both Canada
and the US during the 1960s and 1970s. Elliot’s son John was the first
Canadian to win an NHRA stock class. In 1970, driver Barrie Poole also
made history by becoming the first Canadian with a National Eliminator
title. For 3 years, the two Sandy Elliot Fords stacked up their
victories and achievements across North America. By 1971, they had raced
in 17 NHRA Nationals winning three times.
In addition, they were
runner-up twice, made the semi-finals 12 times, and set nine national
records! In 1971, Sandy Elliot was awarded Super Stock Crew Chief of the
Year.
Painted in bright red with black and white stripes, Auto
World has replicated this 1968 Ford Mustang Super Stock just as it
appeared on the track at the 1970 Springnationals. John Elliot drove
this SS/F 428 CJ Mustang for the class win running 11.15s at 109.62mph.
Victorious, he advanced to go head-to-head with Bob Lambeck in Dick
Landy’s SS/EA Dodge Charger. He blazed through the finish line recording
an 11.29s pass at 110.97mph, clinching the 1970 Super Stock Eliminator
title.
