It was so bad at one event, that by the end of the day it was just a sea of black, all the old muscle cars had been put on the trailer by the hoard of GN's. People in the stands were booing them all day long, throwing hot dogs and drinks at the track. It was crazy. So bad that they finally had to create a specific class for the GN's and T-Types.

I went to a few of those events and they were the same here. Lawrence Connally a local guy built some fast ones in the NMCA too. His "Tweaked" was real fast tubbed car.
