Here is a Super Stocker that ran at the beginning of the '65 season.  Like others in this class, some of the drivers and teams started out racing Super Stock cars and then converted to altered wheelbase cars.  As you may or may not know, the FX cars were the forerunners of the Funny Cars.  The following photos are of the real car and the replica that I built.  In addition, if you look at the timing tower in the background, you will see where I got some of the reference information for the diorama shown at the beginning of my blog.  Once again, thank you for looking and please feel free to make comments.

 

 

 

 

 

Another class that was very popular during this time period was Modified Production.  This class was a step up from the Jr. Stockers which were basically factory stock with only minor modifications.  The Modified Production cars took factory stock offered engines that usually had one carburetor and replaced the manifold with a duel carburetor setup.  They were also permitted to run open exhaust headers.  There were also other changes that were permitted compared to stock classes.  One of the more popular drivers in this class was Paul Belvins.  He was a National Record Holder in G/MP class.
