With its Dodge Drag Pak Challengers, Chevy COPO Camaros, and Ford Cobra Jet Mustangs, the Factory Stock class added a touch of Detroit muscle to the event’s lineup. Davies, an aviation industry executive who’s made a big splash in the Factory Stock world in recent years, stepped up to support the Factory Stock Classic. Fellow racers Mark Pawuk, Warren Walcher, AJ Berge, and Kevin Wesley also joined in as supporters.
