Greg was tough and always worked us over with our sedan delivery and then with our Chevy II a few years later....He seemd to let up a bit when we set the H/S record at Atco in Sept. 1970.....
Trust me I remember all the cars you mention.........
The CJ Heads had a reputation for the seats moving on the end cylinders once they were torqued. It was a royal PITA to do a VJ with torque plate on the heads......
I did head prep for years .......Our shop gid a great deal of machine work for T/K's......for many years.......I did heads....rods...blocks.....for well over 10 years......I know the life.....very well

Ahhhh the good ole days. But back on the subject of the thread.......I always liked the Bennett & Saranni (sp?) Camaro (one bad ride in the day) in SS/I. They were tough and good people to race against and it seemed like it was Morgans Mustang and Ron Saranni's 350 Camaro in the final a lot of the time for points races and just money meets. One race at Atco was for the Div.1 championship and those two were in the final. Whoever won took home the championship as they were dead even in points. I dont remmeber the exact year. The 5 amber (remember those) tree came down with Morgan in SS/GA (with a fastback) and The Camaro in SS/I. Different classes but the spot was almost heads up as they ran off of records back then. The Camaro broke on the line (engine) and morgan cruised to his first Div. Champioship. I was sorry the engine expired for Carl and Ron but with the win I felt a lot of pride with being involved in a small way. Those days are history but great memories,
