Dave Kommel '70's Photos of Stock and S/S
 
For your viewing pleasure on these cold winter days and nights, here are hundreds of photos from the 70's. Mostly west coast events but a few Easterners did venture west to race. Enjoy!

Wow! Just got home from a weekend in NorCal and looked at my website stats and thought that Google Analytics had gone wonky. Almost a normal months worth of page views in one day.

There are still plenty more old images to be scanned and cataloged. Larry Tores was (and is) a good friend and I used to ride to the races with him quite a bit in his SS days and gained a true appreciation for class racing through that exposure.

Also, if you find anything mis-identified, please let me know and I would also appreciate it if you have names for any images that have no ID.

Dave, I started working again on my "all time" Modified entry list from 1970 to 1981, I'm into 1976 right now, I'll send it to you when I get 76 done, then send it to you again when completed.

Thanks Joe! I have some national event programs with entry lists from the '70s with entry lists. If there are any you are missing, let me know and I'll see if I have it.

Wow , what great photos. It was watching cars of this era that got me interested in Stock . My daughter , her boy friend and I purchased WA Lee's wagon a couple of years ago , and there was a couple of pictures of it that we would like to purchase. The kids are running it as a K/SA and loving it.
Thanks Dave and Travis for the post .

Great pics... Seems to be quite a few of the infamous Cuda from the great NW. Good to see history for sure.

Thanks guys, this is fantastic. Remember Marcel at Bowling Green, three guys in a ramp truck from California waiting in line. We couldn't imagine what that tow was like.
