I just figured since it's a 1952 and a racer that it would be. If it's not, please delete my thread for it.

Hi Tim, I hope it is - will feel really bad if they make you take it down (I was the one who raised first the question)

If it is I guess we ought to define where the cut off is - a '69 Charger stock car wouldn't be TRaKable but would the '55 Chrysler? Or a '63 Ford?

Can of worms opened...?

I was just going by what it says anything pre 1970's as long as whatever year the car was that you couldn't have newer parts on it or something like that. There have been a lot of dirt track cars here so I thought no problem.

I won't make any more updates until the decision has been made, no use in wasting my time if it's not TraK-able.

I've been busy as hell for the last couple of weeks, so I haven't had sufficient time to tend to my duties as "TRaK-minion"...

Anyway, I seemed to remember that the subject of vintage Stock Cars (from back when they actually bore more than a faint resemblance to factory stock cars) had been discussed before. As I couldn't remember exactly what was agreed upon, I did a search, and found this thread:

Well, now I'm totally confused. First Rodburner says yes as long as it's pre 1965 and then he says no, let's keep it that way in the thread.

So I'll stop posting in the WIP thread until someone says yes or no for sure. I'm not wasting any more time on this, I'll leave it to whoever has the last word.

I prefer any of these types to at least be from the 50's or older.

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!
