Cool things about Stock and Super Stock

[NewHemi]

It isn't quite like the old days, the 1960's, when 5 or 6 guys each drove their ride to the track, and helped each other with little things (In those days, stock meant STOCK) so little things included finding out , and which tool set set had a 3/8 " socket, and who remembered the crescent wrench. And then loosening the tension on the fan belt to unleash all of those extra horses.... well we thought it did more than it really did.

But then and now the people were the key. We needed a lot of guys just to be sure that we had a full tool set available....

And now the bar in stock is so high, although I know some guys still race their ride... But regardless it is still the people... Like one I can think of immediately who loaned us a $17,000 Challenger Drag Pak engine and we had never met in person, before the engine was actually picked up. That is one good guy!!!! So people are the main joy at the track and here at class racer.

Another big thrill is putting a hole shot on some big ride. Hole shots are soooooooo much fun when you cut a sweet light and chop down the big trees..Needless to say, they aren't nearly as much fun when somebody puts one on you. But getting beaten badly is all the incentive you need to be back next time with a mission.

Yep, it's the people... and the racing..
