another new old guy
lurking for about a year, decided time to jump in the fun.
I live just outside of the old west town of Deadwood. I've been a motorhead for as long as I can remember. My first encounter with brute horsepower was my dad did some work on a 427 AC Cobra owned by actor Zero Mostel, and he took me along for a test ride. I was 9 or 10, and have not been "normal" since. It didn't help that at the tender age of 14 my parents moved just down the street from a nitro funnycar racer, and allowed me to travel with his family during summers.
My first pass on a dragstrip was in a factory SS/D Cuda in 1971 and My latest pass was today in a new nastolgia A/FD. Let the fun begin!
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
