Ain't that the truth; there is nothing "stock" about Stock Car Racing today,  I can't tell a Ford, from a Chevy or a Toyota.

When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

I agree with all the statements above. NASCAR was always my favorite sport and it started going to hell years ago :005: Just follow the money, all pro sports are now just high dollar carnival shows.

That seems like such a bargain now, but thats considerably more than what my father paid for our brand new 2 storey house on a 1/2 acre lot back in 1963. Of course, if you werehave bought a new GT40, and stored it for 65 years, you could buy several new houses when you sold the car!
1959 Meteor 2 door sedan , 428 Cobra Jet 4 speed. Been drag racing Fords (mostly FEs) 47 years and counting.
Previous 50s Fords include 57 Custom 4 door, 2 57 Ford Sedan Deliveries, 59  Country Sedan, and as a 9 year old, fell in love with the family 58 2 door Ranch Wagon.

Funny thing is that $18,250.00 in January of 1965 equates to $163,081.00 in January of 2022

A recent toyoduh tv ad bragged about the camry stock car being so "advanced".

So they run a 351 Cleveland clone motor, a toploader clone trans and a 9" rear.

So much for jap engineering.

Not anymore, they have gone to trans axle  :005: rack and pinion steering, they are all just the same kit cars now. My favorite sport has gone to hell for me..

These pictures remind me that growing up in the 1960's-1970's was a really cool time for us "car guys".   Long live Total Performance.
