I was runner-up to John Barkley in O/SA with my 56 chevy wagon(converted John Dianna panel). This was my first Nationals. What a great time. Many improvements since then. Tech on the oval after sitting in the grass by the road coarse for 24 hours. Everyone got in line at all times to be allowed into the lanes. No sessions. Trimming the slicks with a special file or knife to keep the stocker tires under 7 ". Hats I dont remember.
