    My brother John D. 3284, raced super stock for several years in the 70’s and early 80’s and he always spoke highly of Mr. Garza…aka “hotdog”. I stopped by Rene’s trailer at Norwalk a few years ago and we had a good conversation and he was very kind. Great interview

    I love the stories and the pride the people have for their cars. Please keep 'em coming and thank you for the attention you show to the small guys at the track. And that small block sounds great!

    Great story about the history of the car. The bored 265 small block just sounds beautiful. This folks is the very roots of drag racing. With all of today's technology, it's refreshing to see these awesome cars still racing.

    Running one of these cars in SS is extremely challenging. Just getting head castings, and carburetors, is difficult. This guy is one of my heroes!

    This is one of the ties to the past of Super Stock racing. The back story of the car and owner are treasures to NHRA drag racing. Much respect.

    Great car! Great owner! Great story! There are a few things I am always curious about with these sportsman cars and maybe you can include these questions: What town is the car raced out of? How many races does the driver attend in a year? What is their traveling range for local races, the occasional big races and so on. Thanks!!!

    11.59 ET? My '57 Ford Custom 2 doors sedan would easily beat that with a 9.86 on a 9.65 dial-in.

      Consider this: yer Ford is obviously not built to NHRA Super Stock specs. Rene's 55 definitely is.
