Whither 1966 D Darts for Stock

Paul:

The F class went from 11.89 to 12.49, and then G stock went from 12.50 to 13.99 seconds. The bad part of the old system, as I'm sure you remember, is that if your car didn't fit in at the low end of the class you just had to carry the extra weight ( you couldn't lighten up to the minimum). Running off the national record was also a problem if you happened to be in a class that had been bombed by a fast car. All these problems eventually led to the formation of Bracket Racing. Interesting that 43 years later we're still arguing over how to make class racing fair.
