Re: 13's, 14's vs. 9's , 10's
My son in his High School Days did pretty fair......Finished 3rd in Div 7 AND
went to AllStars. He raced a 78 Aspen Wagon N/O/P 318 (Around 2011) I still race it when I do not feel good enough to race the faster cars. I got runner up at Sonoma (2018). 12 Seconds of total abject Boredom........ Then a Second of Complete Panic!

Re: 13's, 14's vs. 9's , 10's
Back then I wasn't class racing, but in 85, 86 when I was bracket racing a 68 Belvedere with a Slant 6 running 18's - 19's was when I had the most success. What I heard the most was that people couldn't stand just sitting there watching me get away & would redlight or sleep. A lot of people hated that car.
 Took it to the bracket finals in 86 & runner upped in the ROC to Worm.

Just an observation that 1974 was before 9" slicks were allowed in Stock eliminator, so the lower class cars tended to have a traction advantage especially considering changing tracks and weather. That may have had a heavy influence on the popularity of lower classed cars. I know it did for me. Higher horsepower cars had problems being consistent.

Do you think you could hit the tree better and more consistently with the light, stick car, as compared to say, what you have now?

Before the 9 inch slick there was a "street " tire M&H had 10/12 inch rear tires that had different compounds . Like the slicks..The .1/10 rule i believe was from the late 60's early 70's in Jr Stock (Tom Kasch)
Dave Young would have some info on that .Also we had to dial the MPH too.Take away the sand baggers
