This was from Aquasco Speedway that is closed now and I ran the "Cherry Buster" 57 Chev sedan delivery in the final. Tokyo Rose, Pop Kennedy, Gene Collins, and others were there and several other killer cars but it was my day I guess. A LOT red lighted or broke as I should have been beat before I even got to the track....lol. One in a million. Id rather be lucky than good as they say. It was a long time ago but its something I will never forget.

P.S. I just remembered the win money was HUGE and is why all of the killer cars were there. I picked up $100 and I only made $65 a week clear. I guess the Govt. noticed the big "windfall" because I was drafted into the the Army a few weeks later......lol. What a deal.
