Greg and Marty argued about what carburetors were legal for our car that night....I never forgot that arguement as Marty was more on our side than Greg and we were from Div. 1. I thought those two were going to have a friggen fist fight over it!!! Greg was very tough and we sufferd a few times from his toughness........ and eventually we passed one of his checks and set the H/S national record! and yes I am over 55...... |
If you had Greg and Marty and more like them today Stock eliminator would be a "heck" of a lot cheaper.
