It was very common to see Floyd Czop and Gino Lepore face off in the eliminations to see who would take first place in the Super Stock Class. Both cars running GM rated 427 /425 hp., with M22 4 speed transmission. Both cars were COPOs, (Central Office Production Order). The Camaro in "D" Super Stock and the Chevelle being "E" because of its heavier weight. The cars would run anywhere from 10.75 seconds to 11.10 seconds on the 1/4 mile drag strip. Floyd would always manage to run the faster time, or maybe it was because Gino felt sorry for his elder (LOL). Saturday nights we would be found in garages getting our cars ready for the big day Sunday, up at 5th Line. Many cars came from Sudbury and Michigan. These summer weekends were a lot of fun which have given us wonderful memories of the past and of the many participants.
