The Grump sneaking some cold ones into the pits.






The last photo is from 1973, That's 49 years ago. If this Pro Stock Dart Sport were magically transported to now, today, and it pulled into the pits at your local track it would not look out of place, i.e., dated. That is how far ahead of their time and advanced Pro Stockers and similar cars (i.e., Modified eliminator cars) were back then. Now imagine this is 1973 and you're seeing such a radical, bad ass car first time in the pits. Mind-blowing is an understatement. I should know. I was a kid back then and seen these cars. It was an awesome experience.

Now, transport yourself back to 1963, ten years earlier, or even to 1965. Drag cars were crude in comparison, light years behind. That fact is even more mind-boggling.
