Jerry Terry · 08-31-2015, 02:49 PM

Dan I wish I had it to bring back, we also had a couple of Pure Stocker"s Mr Isom built one and I got it and then he built another one for him.I played on the street and he raced his and did well. We raced with I believe his name was Bill Devro he had a real nice Camaro Z28 67 or 68 ?? anyway it was a blast.

I built a 69 low hp 350 Nomad wagon and was very successful locally. Sold it as a roller and wondered who ended up owning it?
I think it went east..... Any one have an idea? Thanks

I am trying to restore my 1969 Impala.
Frame off, modified, reinforced, new parts and powder coated.
All rust removed. Floor pans, rear quarter.
No time to finish.
Have Budd Rowe engine and lots of new parts..
Tired of working on it.
Bought it from Bob LaSala in 1972.

I like my Pure Stocker.

I don't know why I remembered this, because most of the time I suffer from CRS, but I think you were referring to Bill Drevo, who had a very pretty (and quick) 1st Gen Camaro.

BTW - Very nice wagon!!

Lew I think you are right I couldnt remember how to spell his name but I couldnt forget the car, it was fast I wonder if he still has it ? Im partial to wagons we raced a few. Yours is good looking, I have followed yours on the forum.

Got the latest on the Pure Stock Adjustment!

It is for a 1978 Malibu Wagon.
Suppose be a 350/275 hp, not a 327
Now rated at 250 hp.

Seems great to race a minimal modified car but...is any actual class racing done or is it all Dial-in? And a Spec Cam for all ? Isnt the factoring issue STILL a big factor? ( not a joke)

May not be perfect!
But over some 30 plus years has leveled out.
Tweak here and there to keep it balanced happens often.
Why you see HP corrections!
Stock and Super Stock require study.

This is not Bracket Racing..where you can build a mild BB to run 11s.
Shove it in any chassis and race.

S/SS you have to have all the systems up to compete.
That is the science and art running Pure Stock, Stock or Super Stock.

Rule racing where Smokey Yurnick would be proud of us.

Dan, My question was are there meets with Heads up Class racing? or are all the races Dial in?
Knowing Smokey used a lot of "questionable" methods is an interesting comment.
