“Super Stock” my ass. What this car is, is nothing more than an Pro Stocker circa 1972 sans tunnel ram and Lenco trans.

Take a look at the manifolds on the Hemis now. Almost a tunnel ram! I still like watching them run!

Super stock has had different itterations over the last 35 years, but these cars have evolved for the better. I raced in 79 to 82 with a SS/J 66 deuce and the best improvements were tubbing, six point cages or better for rigidity, any rear end, transmission replacements, and improvements in engine parts for longevity. Things just evolve for the better but the intent is still the same. These cars run a full 2 seconds quicker than in 1968. Not bad for 41 year old technology with improvements.

martin looks like a short track at the high end, GREAT DRIVER! the shift points sounded perfect and he has a lot of guts running it out the back door at this track.

gotta agree with you enginear10, shut down area does not look very long at all!
