Small world! I went the first time at 13... in 1962. I remember them talking about Eddie digging ruts the year before! I think his car was called the Double Dragon. :-) BTW... I also took my pictures with a Brownie back then. I know I still have a picture I took later of Ivo's Showboat in front of the DA Tower. Great times! ...but not such great photos then. {:-(
