Hot Rods are for Cruzin. We raced Jalopies on oval tracks. We later called them "Stock Cars"...

ST, I think TB has it a bit backwards...... Back in the day....I built a '65 SS. Not the car, the engine. Most definately a "Hot rod".

True, I cruized with it....I cruized past a lot of other cars. Two tests for a car where I came from, 1) the 1/4 mile, 2) the back roads, usually all gravel.

I ended up giving the engine to a buddy because I got in the habit of collecting traffic tickets, read Dad said, "Boy, that sh!t has to go now!"

My buddy put that engine in his dirt car. The rest of us were the "pit crew".....and he did some "cruzing" on the track!

Good times.

Of course I'm talking about an 8 cylinder motor, I'm sure TB is refering the flat head 6 days of yore.........

lol
