You got a hand written time slip with the ET and MPH on it. --- and often just the MPH. Early in 63 my home track still used a flag man start. A Handycap start was you or the other guy marched down the track a certain # of car lengths. I probably had 10 or 20 000"s and never knew it - just kidding. Fastest 300

I started bracket racing in 1978 and then rolled my Dart in 1982 and they still gave hand written cards in 82 when I rolled my Dart and we had no 60 ft times then either. I did not race again until 2000 and of course they had the printed slips with everything on it. Makes you realize how old we are. Ron

I remember being WOW'd by seeing them for the first time. I thought "Man, we getting with MODERN stuff now!" The funny thing is that the hand-written cards are still readable. The more modern timeslips' ink fades after a couple of years to the point that keeping them is useless. Well, I guess not any MORE useless than keeping 35 or 40 year old business cards with ET and mph scrawled on the back... with an occasional WIN written across the top.

Funny thing is we didn't know just how good we had it back then. The more info that was put on a timeslip, the more money we all spent just to chase all of those numbers! I can remember when Fremont staring giving us reaction times. We would brag about anything better than a .5-anything on the long tree.
