Default Re: D1 70;s SS/history question?

I liked the wheels they ran at one time....Don't recall exactly what wheel it was but looked good. Maybe Motorwheel Flys....

Carl had 2 fast Stockers before the SS Camaro and Ronnie had his own car and they both won pretty regularly at Etown

Carl had an early Nova in M/S that I think he crashed and then a Camaro in G/S...Ronnie had a big car I think....maybe a '64 Impala...283 stick

Carl went 11.99 at York in the Camaro when the G/S record was in the 12's...and he was a flagship car out of T/K's.....

I don't know if the SS Camaro was built from that G/S car or not.

Ronnie was much lighter then Carl and I guess that's one of the reasons he ended up driving...

SS was not real healthy around then.....No breakout rules and just a handful of cars seemed to win......and car counts were low.

Many guys never moved from the old stock to SS in 1972.....It took some time and some rules changes to make it healthy again.......

Just my memories....and the bottom line is the Bennett and Sirianni car.....was a great car to see run back then.....
