The Names of the First Bracket Classes in the Mid 1970's

[Paul Ceasrine]

With lower 'cars counts' in the mid-1970's.

Drag Strips were trying to salvage what they could, to get more Drag Racing participation.

Soon there was a mixture of Old Dragsters, Open-Body Altereds,
long forgotten Gassers, and even 1965 AWB cars showing up.

And of course, Daily Drivers, including low performance family cars
blazing down the 'Quarter' in the 18.00s.

Class names that I recall.

* 0.00 to 8.99............Unlimited...(Rails and Funny Cars)
* 9.00 to 10.99..........Super Pro..(Gassers, Pro Stock, Modified Production)
* 11.00 to 12.99........Heavy
* 13.00 to 14.99........Street Eliminator
* 15.00 and up..........Street Stock
