mrfizz should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Gen 2 and 3 for me.

Gen 2 were the best looking (i mean just look at that '73 Charger!) and Gen 3 were the fastest until Nascar (quite rightly i think) shat themselves and slowed em down.

Must have been great being at the track in the Gen 2 era. You could tell what car was what even without a number on the side. Only now are we almost geting back to that with the Gen 6.

CORRECT! It was GREAT being at the track during the Gen 2 (and Gen 1) era! Wish those days had not gone away! Glad we're getting somewhat back to them, appearence wise, anyway!

Upon pondering on this, I think there are really only two types of stock cars, and this bled on down to othr sanctions also.
Pre-Taurus and post Taurus.

I do have to admire GM, to a degree, for creating the fwd Monte Carlo for the NASCAR tracks, even if it was a miserable failure.
By then Big Bill was dead that the remaining France boys were clueless little rich twits.

I will have to disagree, slightly, on Bill France Jr. I don't believe Bill Jr was clueless. He worked closely with his dad and learned and knew the business. As for Brian and any after Bill Jr. FULLY agree -- absolutely CLUELESS!

The street car was a fwd crapwagon but its body shell was, poorly, designed for NASCAR.

In addendum, while the Taurus was straw that made stock cars a total farce, the rule that allowed them to run a non-stock wheelbase is actually just as bad.
