Ditto on the thanks for posting this. I recognise quite a few of those names from the old days. One in particular was Bob Williams SS/DA Chevelle "Double Trouble". A really nice car. Oddly enough, he used to race quite frequently at a backwoods outlaw track. Brown County Dragway, a track I only live about 6-7 miles from today. My first trip to that place was in 1973. They held what I say was a forerunner to the combos of today. It is still in operation, since about 1978, they went to bracket racing only.

It was the "money" class, consisted of all the stock, superstock, modifieds, gassers, altereds, ect. In those days, all ran off their national records, that was your index.

Keep it up Tom, I enjoy taking these little trips back to the past.
