In the "old days" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am 80 and went down a track in 1960 at Magnolia, Ohio. That was pre- christmas tree.I set my first record in 1973. If your class record was set you had to run off of it like they now do in Combo using index. You also was not allowed to run three classes as you are now by moving weight around. So if someone set your class record at a sea level track in the spring with a density of below sea level and you could not run it your car was junk.

Quit bitching, and go racing.

And, if you ran under in the class final at a National event that was the new record .It happened to me at the 74 Summers.
