Flemington, and the engine has been moved forward. Hard to tell, is it the SOHC Ford? |

Same car in both your photos? One says "BIG DONKEY" the other doesn't. Engine forward in the bottom photo. The top of the door may or may not be cut different. Both pics from 1971? |

Wasn't engine setback one of the rules that led to the creation of the "Tri State Owners and Drivers Association"? |

Think there were 2 cars. Stan was real fast in the car with the engine set back. Only thing to beat him was a break down or a flat tire. I think that car was for open no rules. The other car was to run Flemington when it wasn't open comp.or wherever they had to run less set back.best I can remember. |

My 1st memories of 707 with tas sitting in the back seat,car loader than all the rest flames coming when tas backed off. Fan of the donkey since then.
Stan & Paul won a lot of races in the car with the set back dominant, left a few on the table too.
The way I remember it the second car less set back was deck & back was longer & down. When there was open comp show they would run the dominant car & be fast. |

The big engine set back cars really could only run Reading as far as I can remember. Of course they could also run the special shows at other tracks because the rules were relaxed for those races. One car that comes to mind is Taz with the Cozzie Coach. They ran Reading weekly in 69 but Taz came to Middletown with it and won both times he was there. A 100 lap All Star race as well as the ES 200. I didn't see the 707 run much in it's hay day but it's legend was known far and wide. |

EWS allowed the SOHC Ford with the big setback for all thier weekly shows. So, I guess the answer to my question is yes there probably were 2 707's during the 1971 season. |

As a child and to this day my favorite coupe was the 707, I can still recall the 70-71 seasons at East Windsor and the sound of that Ford motor, you could hear that thing even in a pack of cars, one of the loudest modifieds I've ever heard and man was it fast. |

As Darrell Waltrip used to say, "I love a car that handles down the straight away!". And Deasey's 707 sure could "handle down the straight away at Windsor". Scott Ely |
