Never heard of them. Is it a west coast thing? I miss the speed shops we used to have before the internet. There used to be one near me called Don's speed shop. Don knew everything about performance and racing. It was always great to go to his store.

San Bernardino and Riverside stores had facilities to install the hot rod parts you bought also, others probably did also.

Not Eddie Hill's finest hour but it did get he and the Super Shops quite a bit of press.
Pos-A-Traction...Holy ****, I used to have a pair on the back of my 65 in '85! Hard as rocks, I though they were plastic! Were they SuperShops tires? They were an honest 10" across and I could still roast them with my 340 and a 3.55 SG rear.
They would smoke through the first 3 gears on my Ranchero. It snowed one afternoon and evening in Barstow. Couldn't get in or out of town without chains. I had to get home from work on those Pos A Tractions at 11pm that night Whata ride!Pos-A-Traction...Holy ****, I used to have a pair on the back of my 65 in '85!

The Super Shops in Vallejo was always a regular stop if not just to go in and drool over speed parts for awhile...
Got my first set of Centerlines and BFG's from them in the mid 80's
where in Vallejo? I hit Bailey Bro’s when we rolled back in the day. There was also a small shop at the east end of Springs Rd. Also Grand Auto, Rac Tachs, headers etc.

The smell of that place was 100% tire rubber and they really packed the floor with stacks of tires, it was like a Walmart weaving in and out of those towers of tires! Thy had a whole wall of intakes and another large ad of Mallory ignition products as well as Erson Camshafts. I remember it well.......Sold 'Desktop Dyno' for DOS 3.0 for $89.99...?
When did it open in Vallejo? I swear I had to drive to Sacramento to find one in 81-83. Who knows, I got CRS......The Super Shops in Vallejo was always a regular stop if not just to go in and drool over speed parts for awhile...
