how was stock/super stock ran in the 60's and 70's?
i can't remember.
i sorta remember class runoffs being heads-up and the 1st guy to the finish line won and eliminations were ran but without a breakout. i was just wondering about the handicap part of it, how was it determined? |

I believe same class racing was always first to the finish wins. Up to a centain time everbody ran off the national record for eliminations TOP STOCK/JR STOCK etc. The biggest change that I remember is class racing went on every weekend at your local track up in till bracket racing became popular and everything became a national or divisional thing. I know some of the reasons brackets overtook class racing on a local level(cheating and no qualified personel).....maybe sound like DEJAVU. Loved the days when you could go out and class race and come home same day. Have asked why in my division we can't get a program going ( like so. cal s/g s/c) but was told you can't get these guys together. Case in point is we have two local s/ss races 6 months apart at a local track and can only get maybe 10-15 cars max to show up. I know there are probably maybe 30 cars local that dont show up. Why.... is my question.... I would put mine back on track if others would...and I know these other cars run divisionals etc?

Wasn't there a breakout if you went more than.10 under the record?

Correct Ed!
You could run .10 sec under the class record and not break out. The National Record was the dial-in for you class. The V/Stock '50 Olds was "killer" under those rules. Jerry |

...yup and then you waited for the Nat'l digger every week to see if your record took a hit, so you could find a 4 door/convertible/wagon or some other body to throw your stuff into to change to a better class......oh, how I remember
