The most fun/results was always due to a comination of hard work, ingenuity, trial and error and money.
Our Canadian dollar always well below the US greenback did not help the money aspect either...... There may have been fewer grey areas during tear down and protest situations given the field of cars and combinations being smaller and simpler with fewer classes. There were always does who gave and earned respect and a minority that did not. Incidents were not ''in the open'' as they are today with the internet. There were great things and some not so great back then...today there are also some great things and some not so great.... Could it be that the more things change the more they are the same? Fortunately there is enough out there for us to choose where we can afford to have the most fun ![]() |

I remember 1959 when a floor shifter on a 3 speed put you in a gas class. That was the first time I ever went to the drags and I thought Id died and went to heaven at Amelia Earhart Field in Hialeah Fla., an old WW2 air base. There was no such thing as street mag type wheels for stockers then, just chrome.
