On newstands now, in the Oct 2000 issue of Mopar Collectors Guide, their Pentastar News column, they state that the Easy Street class of the KOS series has been eliminated, due mostly to a lack of sponsorship money. Hmm, why wouldn't anyone want to sponsor a race class, perhaps because it is Mopar dominated which makes it hard to sell Chevy valve covers and such? I would love to know who these sponsors are who cut the throat of this class. Does anyone who competes or watches this class regularly have any better input? I'm just afraid it's another case of:"Sorry Mopar, you are too fast for the GM guys, we got to ban you, too bad...." I would really like to know who these sponsors are who killed this class, so I can make sure I can pull any possible support I can give from them as well. And to Andy Mayes, Mike Robbins and anyone else who carried the Mopar colors proudly in EZ Street. My hat is off to you and your efforts and success are much appreciated by us Mopar fans out here! Anyone with more detailed info, it would be much appreciated if anyone knows how this happened.

First I've heard of it. It does seem kind of ill-timed as Andy was starting to break out of just KOS competition and doing well at national events against Brand-X competition.

Stoga--I think someone's confused(me, for one) Andy Mayes ran in Moderate Street in KOS. EZ Street is a NMCA class that I think is close to same as Moderate Street in KOS series. I believe Mayes was begining to do pretty good in NMCA where the "hot" contenders run low 9s.

Small Talk (Vance);
Nice to see you out here. I have seen you and your car in the magazines. What is the latest on your 69 Dart? What is it running now? I have a 69 Dart GT and that is why I remember your car. Do you run at any of the KOS events anymore? What type of rear end do you run? Is it narrowed? Sorry for all of the questions. |

I run a Dana 60 w/4.10 gear & the housing has been shorted some. I modified the original tubs & at the rear frame rails> I run a 10 inch wheel w/5inch back spacing with a 10 OR 10.5 tread tire. I have a new engine we are still working with,a small stroker 390 W2 etc. Had alot of problems with coolant leaks hindering are passes plus the new nitrous cross bar plates does not work well with the small plemnum area on the W2 intakes. We are working on a improved intake for this setup. The steel head rule limits the available market intakes so we have to go for what we need to be competitive. We are running local & hope to have good numbers to talk about soon. By the way I'm originally from Pa. About 35 miles east of Altoona. Thanks Vance |

KOS droped moderate street because of mismanagement of sponsership money. Not lack of. From my understanding the sponsers did their part with the money. The races just didn't get there part so they stopped showing up at the races. Oh and by the way I'm Andy Mayes' wife. He only got the right money on the first couple of races last year he just loves racing so much he kept going to the races.
