Baker wanted to allow head mods (Porting) on the Top Stock cars. Standing on your feet from 7: 30 AM to 12:00 AM or 1:00 AM wears you out And I had very little help with the Stocks and Super Stocks plus we had the pro stocks remove the heads on the old small block pro stocks to measure cubic inches not P&G checks and occasionally the mountain motor Pro Stocks to check for allowable bore spacing .

So..........who had a gun pointed at your head while you were forced to do this?
