Silly Season Has Begun

Dad had a new 67 Fairlane 390 4 speed. We would go to church then stop at KFC and go to US 30 dragstrip in Indiana. I was 6 years old and thats when the Coca Cola cavalcade of funny cars would run. It was so cool. He traded it for a 69 442 with 400 4 speed and raced it until 71. I got my DL in 1977 and went right to the dragstrip with my 55 Chevy 210 hardtop 327 4 speed and with clutch slipping through all gears it went 14.20. Raced on 5 amber tree for a couple years. Always wanted to run Super Stock and finally did in 1990. Limited experience with motors and could only run 6 under with help. This story feels like yesterday, but sadly its not.
