I ran stock at Amarillo TX Dragway in the 60's. B/S and C/S and flat towed it with a tow bar and free wheel spindles on the rear hubs.
There they weighed you as you entered the race and tech was done there at the scales at the same time. No weight after that. We always weighed with the tool box in the trunk and the spare tires and a few shot bags to make weight. Of course those all came out when we hit the pits. I guess we were one of the cheaters but so was everyone else around the pits. That is where I picked the idea up.
We all had a good time and there was no brakes ever before the finish line for sure.
I miss those days.
