Rick was the only fast left coast SM car I remember. Stevens car was nice but I don't remember it ever being blistering fast. Neither was mine, btw.
Anybody know why the 1979 C/SM rules would not work today? Sticks and auto same weight.

He outran Mike, that's Mike in A/SM? I remember Bill building an engine for A, don't Know where they ran it. 1979 was my last year. Everything was worn out and I needed new equipment for my shop, so I quit. Started running a dirt track car here locally. Paid as much to win as a WCS race. Moved to sprint cars later. Did that until 1990. Didn't do anything but work until I lost my mind again a few years ago. I remember you guys names and cars, don't think I ever got to see them run. Sounds like you guys ran really well.
