Wally Parks editorial from Dec 1955

Mike,

You are right, back in the day a Stocker was stock. I remember a race at Atco where a Stock ' 50 Studebaker was disqualified because he had a non-stock muffler on his car.

When I left the country for my Southeast Asian vacation in 1969 the class record for SS/CA was low 11's if memory serves.

There will always be people that will push the rules, some that will cheat and others that will play within the rules and the HRA's will continue to amend rules to help Speed Equipment manufactor's make more money and appease some racer's need for more speed.
