[Aubrey N Bruneau]

Woodro, I've spoken to Lamar a couple times.
You should have heard him laugh 4 years ago, when I told him I was building a car for actual modern Stock Eliminator ! ! !
His response... you can't get under the Index ( this was the general consensus for most anyone who was experienced with 409's in the later years of Stock ).
He did wish me good luck though !
My one Stock event that I managed to attend a couple years ago... qualified second to last in a 38 car field... but I WAS .18 under the Index ! ( 1.75 60ft... spinning through first gear ).

Anyhow, Lamar's experience, is mostly with SEVERELY modified cars and engines ( angle milled block, ect ).

"Day one" ?
Somewhere in spring of 1961 !
