Why did we race a Stocker? A short story to share

“No, sorry, stock class cars are not allowed to use anything like that, our cars have to be factory stock, but we can have headers! I then began to explain to him what stock class was and about, but he kept interrupting me"
Yeah, that part's important, because, of course, they ain't as stock as they look. He should've listened.

A friend ran a 65 belvedere wagon in U/SA. One time there was a guy who was in utter amazement that it had a 273 2 barrel.
Stockers haven't gotten very much ink at all for many years. There's at least one generation that has no clue about them. It's very rare that when talking to someone about the kind of racing I enjoy and participated in briefly, that the person knows what I'm talking about.
