I have not been to Irquois in a few years.(always during our busy season at work) but thats a event next year we could try and get a few mav. & comet guys around here to attend. squeal thats a big one here in Louisville. That and the muscle car nationals!
Well, I honestly have to say that I prefer the ~look~ of the two door. However, there are advantages to speeding in something that just doesn't look fast. As a general rule, the cops simply don't see you. My cars have ALL been four door, not all Mavs but ALL four door (except for my pickup). I'm a huge fan of the convenience. Yeah, call it a grocery getter, I use it for that. Hopefully when I'm done it'll be a bitchen grocery getter with a really nice stereo system. Yeah there's more weight but if you want to race it, rip off all the heavy stuff and replace it with "space age materials". It'd mortify anyone with a two door to have their butts kicked by a four door. As for a back seat, why limit yourself to INSIDE the car? I forsee MA (Mavericks Anonymous) meetings in my future.

Although I am strictly a 2-door man, I kinda think it would be cool to use a 4-door Maverick for a drag car. I would shave the rear door handles and put a rear wing and huge tires on the back. And I wouldn't have to feel "guilty" about cutting it up. The longer wheelbase might make it hook-up better on the strip, although I don't know. In any case, I'd really like to see a 4-door with shaved handles on the rear doors...
