one of the things that fascinates me about the SCTA is the rules for
virtually everything... I was telling a buddy he could put together his
High school Hot rod and run it at Bonneville...
He has one of the Crager Heads that he hasn't run in years.... neat
conversion ... it shows just how primitive some of the early speed stuff
was.... Very cool.... I could see a street rod made with one of these...
