When was the "Golden Age" of Stock Eliminator

Bobby,
Thanks for the kind words!

There were some fast cars built in '69, '70 and '71, like the 455 SD Pontiacs and the LS-6 Chevy 454's, for sure. The Mopars were pretty much done except for the street cars like the Hemi Road Runners in '69 and the 440 6-pack E-Body cars; don't remember much really fast from Ford from that period of time but Glidden sure tore 'em up with the 429 "Shotgun/Blue Crescent!!!" I think he could have won Pro Stock with a John Deere if he'd wanted to....
