It was a constant struggle to gain the advantage or pick up a few bucks winning or match racing.The sport was evolving so quickly in the 60s and 70s and was a popular spectater sport to watch.We didn't have the techonolgy that is available in later years and what we have now.We didn't have a crystal ball but have memories of the beginning of an era that we may never experience again.
Though it is too costly for most today,the yesterdays were priceless.
