This car, avoiding mayhem for a change instead of causing it, I had about $1200 in it. $700 or so of that was engine. CAM2 racing gasoline was $3.25 per gallon. Here's the interesting part. About my second week of racing, the "gas shortage" hit. Everybody was scrambling for gas, but guess what? At the track, all the CAM2 (or SoCal, if you bought from Nazy Krate) that you could afford .I used to get $25 a week in payoff, and the gas dealers hung around until after the races, knowing everybody was gonna buy gas for our truck. I bought all my payoff would buy, and dump it in my '69 Chevy truck (400 small block), got me through the week. Like John Mc said, general admission for pits as long as you had a $10 annual pit license. No hand stamps or wrist bands, we used to fish the pit pass through the chain link fence to infield, to let other crew in.
