Great question,,
Local tracks handled things a little different than at National Events and Points Meets. Our local track, Dover Drag Strip (Wingdale, NY) let the
Super Stockers run for class first (trophy and class winner decal), then could compete in S/S Eliminator. For class, anything could go, but in
S/S Eliminator, they could not break-out (run under the NHRA record).
,,In Stock, the same thing, win your class first (any way)..Then head down to the tower, and pay $10 (I think that was the amount),, and run your typical handicap eliminations..But again no break-out. Guys that won
class early in the day,, could get out of there by 4:00,,if they weren't interested in $.
Paul,,,Everyone was happy,,then NHRA ruined the stock class for 73'
Good Bye Racing.
