I used to live in La Verne, CA only a few minutes away from Pomona Raceway---and used to go to the Winter Nationals every year. My favorite class to watch was stock / superstock. I loved how the cars still looked like cars, yet would pull the carry the front wheels. I thought they were very exciting to watch and never did get why most were only interested in Pro Stock, TF Funny Car and Top Fuel.
Anyway, this was way back in 1985-1989 or so. I was going through some stuff in the garage and found a box of photos, slides, and negatives and came across a bunch of these pictures. I was 19 at the time so the are not the best photos, and I wish I took better care of them--they were in a large shoe box for 20 years.
Anyway I thought that many of you would recognize the following cars. These guys were my heros, Moreno, Calvert, Waldo, and my all time favorite, the DeFrank and Cohen SS/AA Hemi Cuda. I actually liked all of these cars.
Most pictures are from Feb 1988 and 1989, all though a few are also from the early 90s.
