I started racing my 1968 Camaro in 1977. Raced the Gatornationals in 1978. Started in C/SM and a couple of years later went to SS/J with a 327/275 combo. In the mid 80's I went to a 350/295 combo and changed to auto. I am still racing the same car today with the 350/295 combo in SS/HA. That's 39 years racing the same car. Its a great car. Easy to drive and work on. The combo is not real favorable at this time but over the past couple of years they have given us back a few HP's. My stuff is still old school with a PG and a Dana 60 rear. I am a bottom half qualifier but I enjoy myself. I race SS because I enjoy the challenge of running fast given a set of rules. I would probably quit if I could only bracket race.
