I can't help but notice how well a bunch of "lower class" Stockers did back then. What happened?

Division 1 ?

Tom< what happened to div1? Do you have it?

Re: 1974 Wcs Points for div1 -7
 

Interesting reading. Falcone and Kost from D6 are still on the track.

Good point!

Re: 1974 Wcs Points for div1 -7
 

Stock cars had to run street tires in 1974. That was a big problem for the faster cars.

I would add to this how much different a stocker can be today as opposed to then (especially the faster classes of traditional cars).

WOW you got me tied for second in Stock in Division 4 with Keith Offut.
That was when it was fun and before a lot of you were born.

Dale we are also still peddlingtoday. I can’t “stand up” on the peddles like I use to back then but usually keep itpointed in the right direction.
Also Ralph Van P from 6 is still getting it done, and thenthere is Cal Method who is hitting it as hard as he did back then.

We're in div 4. That next year('75), we saw some of those guys run.

These pics were all taken at a points race near Jackson, MS.

Dave Botkin drove the little Pinto. R.T. Barrett drove a B/SA Cuda, and in '75, Jack Mullins had switched over to his big Pontiac wagon, which won the Sports Nats & US Nats. He beat Judy Lilly in the US Nats final.

TJ, my girlfriend, had won her first 6 races in a row, in early '75, between 2 different local tracks. Then R.T. showed up at the Forest Hill track, & put her out. :( But hey, our car was low buck, & it was my 1st Stocker build. His Cuda was a serious Stocker. So, we didn't feel as bad.

We got to know Dave Botkin fairly well, & still talk on a race track FB page.
