trivial question -drag race edition

OK you are twisting my brain a little. wasnt he from Cal? in the late 60 we had an old man called "PAPPY" Cline. in Wichita. with a stable full of GM cars. ALL very illegal. he had some Oldsmobiles and Pontics that could NOT be stock and go as fast as they did. course i only saw them in Wichita. they would dare not let NHRA inspect them. any one that can pas NHRA inspection and go fast in a stock class has done something.
