Re: OK Jeff better late than never!
7" tires and they were measured......and could not be wider at the tread or you were out.....
And a set of exhaust pipes and mufflers that extended to past the rear axle........with a connection at the headers or something that sorta looked like it ....LOL

Re: OK Jeff better late than never!
When I started, I was told by the track's head tech guy. If the rule book does not say you can do it, you can not.

Re: OK Jeff better late than never!
Very well said Mr. Miller.
I remember when I started racing stock in 1978. We had stock water pumps, stock rockers that we would put push rods through, Roades lifters to get some bottom end. Original transmissions, original brakes that took both feet to stop. My first Ritter and Weber engine dyno tested cost 2500.00. When Super Stock was at a National event. The, what I called the tender fender cars were lined up for a great show in the pits alone. Most cars came to the track on open trailers. You would stop at a gas station and people would ask you where your headed, how fast and tell you "I had one". Things have changed a country mile but still enjoy trying to beat the fast guy in class and surely the cars in original trim. |

Re: OK Jeff better late than never!
I flat towed from Long island to Indy in 1974 and when I got there I was missing a bumper bolt. I was told I couldn't race until I fixed it. Even though I had extra hardware do to the tow tabs, the inspector didn't care. Went to a bone yard and got a bolt. Now, most bolts are missing for a reason, LoL!
My stocker it totally street legal license and insured, my opinion is that's the way all stockers should be. Casey Miles 248H Stock |

Re: OK Jeff better late than never!
I remember the 'Brock & Marsh' 57 chev stocker bounced in tech at Indy around 1968/69 for having a black piece of plastic where the red/white/blue chevy emblem goes in the center of the grill. They had to go get a 'stock' emblem and put it in to pass tech.
