Tried running SS in the early 70's. Blew an engine and discovered I could not afford it. Sold the SS less motor and trans purchased my 69 Camaro which after driving it on the road for 6 months turned it into a stocker in '74. My high school sweetheart and I married in '77 and began our family in '78. Have raced a slow stocker ever since and now with all 5 of my children grown and with college degrees have " moved up" to K and L stock. Ran brackets and T through V stock while raising my family due to affordability from '82 to '07.
Could not break this addiction all those years and never felt I was driving a slow stocker. Still enjoyed the ride !
