Ss/x

No further comments? I'll add a couple...I wish I was able to see some of those early
Olds' run in SS/X...missed them all. There was a Toronto-area '57 Chev 2-dr wagon
that I saw run in "X" about '73 or so...might have been a D1 points meet. I think there's
a couple of photos of it on the HAMB site...got the Maple-Leaf flag on the door?

So maybe the '57 with the smaller engine was a viable combo in SS/X? Guys probably
built them due to the success the Nejas had....

The only other SS/X car I actually saw run was a '61 Bubble-Top...also in D1...maybe
white in color?

A few years earlier, I saw the "Bits-n-Pieces"...that "Copper-Stopper" car mentioned
before...and also a '59 Chevy called the "Blue-Tick" from Al Provoast...all running in
U/S class at the '71 Summernationals...the year of the "old" Stock Elim rules....
