I agree with X-TECHMAN in his first reply. I think the best years were when stock was really stock.

You use to have to run original type valves,cam specs, pistons,etc. After cam rules were changed
cheating really took off because of what he said. Also, by then alot of the original techmen had
retired and the new ones did not have the knowledge to check cars.

When money became the predominate interest of Glendora in the late 80's they started letting
too many changes take the stock out of stock because it took money to train and keep
people who could check engines,etc. properly.

That's my 2 cents worth and I'm sticking to it. lol
