I agree. I'm been PM'd by others. Consider 2-Steps allowed with a stick.





Thanks Jeff !

That would change things from my perspective also.
Did enough of "no 2 step" vs footbrake to know about it.
Thanks.

If you think a footbrake automatic has an advantage on a PRO Tree over a Stick what the hell are you drinking. This is a Pro Tree class isnt it? If so there is NO way you can leave footbraking with a stick. If you think you can lets go grudge race somewhere just bring lots of $$$$$$$$.

Regardless of tree a clutch without a two step is not as consistant as a converter and a footbrake, imo.

The early days of Super Gas where you had no Electronics Herb McCandless won ever local race for 3 years, 2 nhra points races he only went to 3 and an IHRA race. This was early 80's. Ill take my 3rd pedal against any footbrake automatic on a 400 pro tree. But you can run what you want. I ran a lenco bracket racing in the late 80's with no 2 step on the low side, never broke anything. Believe it or not but DRIVERS USE TO HAVE TO DRIVE. Thats what seperated the men from the ......ones trying to be men.

If this is to be a "Pro" class, then there should be some "pro" driving. With all due respect to guys out there that are better than me (and there are ALOT out there) I don't need to see a glorified bracket race with guys using high-dollar, historical vehicles (or copies) that are nursing them along with modern-day electronics & gadgetry --- it's too easy. Now if, in your view, using your car means it may get damaged, or whatever, fine --don't run the series. Guys like me can respect you & your car for what it was and let's everyone be happy. But for the serious admirer of good 'ol P/S-match racing this is where the series can shine & the teams can get a loyal, active following, just like the old days.If I could ever get rid of this Altered I'd seriously look at building a car for this despite living a thousand miles away--- come to think of it, I may build one anyway . Any how, th epoint is, as I said before some guys are forgetting the purpose of the series and what it represents. Look at the original ideas, think it over & if you like it, run it. This trying to make exceptions/excuses for cars seems to me, as a racer & a potential spectator is BS-----just my

Sorry, but I got to go with keeping the cars as they were originally run . With a stick! Plus allowing Data recorders? No such device in the 70's. I loved watching the old Pro Stocks and have a few pictures of those cars in the 70's when I visisted Englishtown back then. Every year we have 2 nostaligia days at LVD and my favorite cars are always the stick shifted cars. To those that can't tell the difference of a 4 speed vs. glide, just look at the shifter!

I don't recall the Pro tree being around in the early 1970s. Didn't they run off the old five yellow tree back then?

Sort of off topic... I've come to the realization that time constraints and family will not allow me to complete my own Nostalgia Pro Stock project. Ergo, I offer my 73 Duster, rust free TX car with a brand new 9" and 4 link. Thought I'd throw it out here before I put it on eBay next week. $7500. PM if interested. Thanks.

the wheels are incorrect







A guy with an automatic in his car is going to talk about another guys wheels.

Lets see if he has a picture of a LENCO.

Forget Roy Hill. Check out the Shelby Mustang Pro Stocker parked next to him. National Trail 1975.

I've had the pleasure on more than one occasion. What a character! Of all the old heads I've talked to, Hill and Herb Sr. are the only ones who remember the cars like it was yesterday. I love the fact that he used to be in "collections."
Here's Roy in 1978 (I think).
