So, I'm moving a box of old car mags....

Thanks for posting those images. That article inspired me to try the same thing.

In 1982 I was working at a Dodge dealer in North Jersey. For the weekend of the Division 1 opener at Englishtown, I got a hold of a new Dodge Aries sedan from the rental fleet. When I got to the track I slapped on some number decals and made a few half-assed mods. (Removed the hub caps and air filter housing, advanced the timing and rigged the electric fan to operate manually).

The car missed the Y/SA index in time trials by more than a second, but I had some fun and dialed -.01 for the first round against Dave LeBrun. I think he caught me before I even reached half track.

The whole deal was still a lot of fun, and as a bonus, later that year SS&DI did an article on dime-rockets in Stock and ran a picture of the car.

Those days of picking up a rental car and entering Stock are no more.
The last VIN car allowed in Stock is the 2010 Camaro SS.

Not one single 2011-2014 VIN vehicle is allowed in Stock.

Very Sad.

Anyone know which issue exactly? Anyone have a copy?
