A few years ago, I attended a drivers' meeting for a local track. I was trying to get a new class started
for my beater '76 K20. I got laughed out of the room.
I then sold the truck as parts.

The punchline?
The next season, they were racing beater fullsize trucks.

Yeah, a fullsize truck class would be cool.  It sucks having to compete with cars sometimes, but it's cool when we can still beat them.

Sbc, What type of racing are you referring to? Or just competing in general? I spend some time doing some drag racing. Lorne

If mine was running I would race it at the track.  My twin races his 2000 RCSB at the track..

the only people that ever want to race are at stop lights on busy roads...there's always a cop waiting shortly up the road.

Stock heads on what?....a 350?  I know of a guy in San Antonio that's running 11's, but I don't know what all he had in his 350.  I hope to get in the 11's with stock heads and stock shortblock.  Good luck bro.
