at 16 my first car was a 57 chev..Traded it for a new 1962 327 300 HP
4 spd trans....I rebuilt it by 60 over bore, cam, 456 rear gear, two fours
and raced it every Saturday Night at Beach Bend Park, Bowling Green, Ky.
for three years. Cheated and won a lot of trophies..Gas was free as dad
had two tanks on the farm, so $5.00 would run me the week end. I dragged
my girfriend (now wife) with me, then when I married her she did not think
much of drag racing. Always wanted a 30 model something but did not
work out. My present car is a 57 chev 2dr post I have had for 33 years.
Haven't raced since I was 21 but still go to the track occasionally and watch
the guys...Times have really changed...Glad I did not have to have that
55 gallon drum of gas welded to my bumper, guess I was just lucky...
Those were the good ole days...
