Hey Everyone,

The organizers of the PSMCDR have been asked to host/coordinate the Pure Stock portion of the Co-Vention drag race venue. This means that anyone that wants to drag race their pure stock car can do so for FREE, FREE, FREE!!!! This pertains to only the car and driver. Any guests or pit crew will be charged $10.00 each. This is an exhibition event, so there are no trophies or money to win, just the fun of tuning and driving your car to the best times possible. There will be time trials and a best 2 out of 3 race if there are enough cars, if not, you can grudge race any other pure stock car there. We are going to open it up to all makes (GM, Ford, AMC, Chrysler, Studebaker, etc.) that are allowed by the PSMCDR rules. This means any 'muscle car', or factory sleeper-type cars from 1955 to 1974 (pre-catalytic convertor) that came factory equipped with a 4-bbl carb and dual exhaust and conveyed a muscular image (I can't race my '71 4-dr Bonnie hdtp even though it has a 455 4-bbl, dual exhaust and saf-t-trak). We will be teching in cars to assure they are 'legal'. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.

Essentially, for those that don't know, the cars need to be stock with all the correct casting numbers on the motor, carb, intake and exhaust manifolds, transmission and rear end. No hi-stall convertors, no different make rear ends (Ford 9" or Dana 60's), no headers or partial exhaust, no dealer made cars, no aluminum SD cars (all steel SD's OK), no wider than stock available tires, no sticky tires, and no custom paint jobs or non available colors. Remember, this race was created by guys tired of showing their restored muscle cars.

We want to encourage those of you who have never raced your car before, but always wanted to to come and join the fun. Everyone that was reluctant, or worried about embarassing themselves got hooked and had a great time. All the other participants will be more than willing to help and give great advise from tuning to driving down the track.

We hope to see you there!
