I only got to see the local Top Stock Eliminator run offs at my local track, Dragway 42, and I do remember that there were only the Class winners running each other and usually not too many of them. Back when I was a piece of dirt on a flys foot my brother let me drive in the TSE. Cause, he wasn't racing his regular race car. It was broke. So being the race junkie he entered his stock 69 Mach 1 in H/SA (351) and somehow won Class.
When it came time to T/S Elim he asked me if I wanted to drive. This was the summer of '69.

I was stunned. Really? He laughed and said sure. You're going to get beat no matter what. I didn't know anything about indexs yet. Found out. I got the head start on some 10 second Dart that passed me by the 60 foot mark.

I was fifteen at the time. I have a pic of that run too.
Have to go find it.....

The world is the grindstone and life is your nose.
