Bought a 64 Plymouth in 72. Been racing it since then. The old Max Wedge has been a lot of fun. It's broken about everything that can be broken but then that's what it's all about.

Scotty D,,, One of the things I've regretted over the years was selling my '66 Nova SS. It was a 327, 4speed, 557 geared wheelstanding ball of fun back in the 70s and 80s. If you have one now and have an irreplaceable opportunity to do something with your kids involving the car, I'd say jump into Stock with it,(something else I never did) and enjoy the learning curve with your family. How can you go wrong? By the time your young man is ready to drive, think of the experiences you will have shared, and how big his "ball of knowledge' will be. My 2 cents,,,have fun with your Chevy II!

Thanks for sharing your stories, they are all great ones. Each of those brings back the "good ole days" for each of us as we were growing up or learning the ropes of this sport called drag racing - or street racing in the earlier days.

Keep the stories coming. I enjoy reading them.
