Also, we ran off of national records, not the too-soft indexes we have now that just about anything will run under. In hot weather you may not find more than three or four cars at a race that could actually break out. We were allowed to run 1/10th under. The faster cars usually won. Now, it's dumbed down to mostly et brackets. Unless you get in a popular class with a good chance for a heads-up, you won't actually do much real racing. Stockers were in magazines, SSDI covered the east coast cars, and Car Craft (John Diana, and later Rick Voglin were racers and the editors) covered the west coast cars. Imagine the indexes lowered one second today, that is about what we had then.
