Yeah, Div 4 points races used to only have 75 or 80 or so SS cars in 1970. Had 44 this last race at Ennis, looked like about that many at Memphis. I have only been trying to do this again the last two years, but I have not seen anywhere near 80 SS cars at a Div 4 race in that time.

Ed, the higher car count in 1970 is hardly suprising. Don`t forget, there was no S/C,S/G,or S/ST .90 classes back then. In 1970, most tracks had also never heard of "bracket racing" either. I know plenty of guys that used to be Stock or S/S racers that have switched to the "Super" classes in the past few decades.
