Our very own member nova7240 (Maurice) is shown above ripping up the pavement out at the strip.. Maurice is 53 and just recently retired from a company called Steelcase. He now enjoys working on his nicely painted green 72 Nova and often brings it to the track.

Maurice has managed to put this beast through 3 engines, 2 transmissions as well as 2 rearends. The Nova is now sporting a 69 corvette 30 over 350 with a 501 lift cam, Victor Jr. intake, 750 carb, 350 trans with a shift kit and 4000 stall. All this power hits a 456 geared rear end bringing his last recorded 1/4 mile run to 12.70 at 106 miles per hour. Not bad for a stock looking car. "A need for speed", If this is not enough Maurice is saving up to one day make this awesome Nova even faster. Great job Maurice.
