We had fun back in the 60's also. We ran stock at all of the local tracks (5 in less than 1 hour or so drive) for about $125 to $150 to win (60's money). 2 seperate eliminators. The higher classes in one and the lower classes in another. We could race Wed. night, Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday. Brackets didnt exist back then and we ran off of records. Of course we had a lot of cars with "funny" sounding cams. I could tell lots of stories about one 57 chebbie that was supposed to be a 283/270 HP car. It had a 327/365 HP engine in it with a 270 HP intake and carbs.....LOL. I remember George Cureiton (spl?) complaining about a 59 black Byscayne that was suppose to be a 348/320 HP but was a 409/380 HP with the 320 carb and intake. It was just part of the game and lots of fun.
