Even Plymouth versus Dodge. Man those guys hated each other!
Remember 1968 thru 1972, not too many tracks running
'Bracket Racing'. So if you had a car with an Edelbrock aluminum intake, Holley carb and 8" tires, if you went to the track you got classed in
Modified/Production, and your street-car got pounded by a track-car.
On the street, anything went. And it was great fun 'After Midnight'.

Yes back then if you changed almost anything you were put in Modified or Gas. And had to run off that record. Most cars just ran at the track for fun. Some tracks (Englishtown Raceway Park Etc) seperated the cars a bit with Cups (trophies) or Bucks.
