What I see is lots of '62-'65 B Bodies, some '66-'67 B-Bodies, and A Bodies of all years. Just wondering if that's been your experience too? Are the cars not there because they are getting too valuable as collector cars?

Once in awhile there's an E body that shows up with a Blown Cheby in it (it's already hacked so who cares). I rarely see any early B bodies, lot's of A's including my own but only a few early A's.

Most Es in the area are restored, that I saw. Aren't there a couple F bodies still running out there? 7394555-IMAG0015.JPG (87 downloads)

I used to run my A-12 hard, but the fun wore off after the value went up. All of these cars were more fun when they weren't worth anything.

What's Irwindale like? How does it compare to Barona in terms of track prep/traction, air, shut down area, etc? Thanks!

Thanks Jegs! Perhaps I'll go back to Summit. At least they honor their word or make it right. <rant off> Carry on.. 7394738-539273_10151235056067112_13525714_n.jpg (85 downloads)

Shut down is as long (or longer). But with a small bump. It is all paved. Track prep can be a issue at times they don't have enough equip. and thursdays there are street tired cars, but I have 60' there as good as anywhere. It is next to the freeway, and cost $20 for a fun night($20 more for king of the hill bracket race) "Just a Bracket car dressed up like a streetcar"
