You used to build your motors for a couple grand, Your own car. A set of tires would last you 7-10 races. hell your whole car probably cost 4grand back in the sixties......Chuck Nungester

Oakie Drout paid $5,000 cash for the Bobby Marshman/Herb Porter/Don Brown Sprinter with a fresh TRACO Chevy in 1966. The car was first class all of the way. Ross Smith won the L'Burg Track Championship with it in 66 (or 67).
