I street raced a 70 camaro for 2 yrs. We had a blast. Guy talks me into going to keystone, a guy with a Buick station wagon took home all the marbles. He was dead on the tree and as bracket racing goes most red lighted, including me, because he was so far out there. Fun, fun, fun. Never went back.
Bayko back in the 70's gene Pennington was building cars for 500.00 you bring your running gear. Farmers, gas stations, and just about anyone that could weld were putting cars together. People were changing bearings in a motor between the heat and feature. Junkyards were the parts store. I sold more 3 speed trannies to guys than I could count. Inflation. You better talk to track owners that haven't raised purses for yrs. in western pa. We went to lernerville, scmuckers, then motordrome on sundays. If it wasn't for stagger we could have raced the same tire all weekend. Some guys did.
If track owners would have stayed strong and worked together things may have been different. Neither series will outlaw something because you know dam well the other series isn't going to follow suit. No team is going to take the money they have invested in shocks alone to let them sit on a table.
Nobody can build a car in a barn today and be competitive, just won't happen anymore. That's why car counts keep dwindling.

I agree with most of that But
Penn Ohio is still a LateModel built in a barn or nice garage and is still built on a good ole fisher chassis
The new latemodel came along with big money showing up with a purpose built Racecar ( I call prototypes )
And forced the promoters to fit them in
And everybody else has been trying to catch up to that same old devil
The money ever since
The money to chase the big money is coming back to America ( if we keep the course) but I for one don’t dream of racing a prototype
I dream much more of racing the guys I admired like Dillinger and Kugal and even J2000 up there who is a champ in prototypes getting back in a STock Car ! JMO
