1964 Flemington Dragway N.J. and Island Dragway with a 1955 Plymouth Savoy K/SA. Still at it today for the fun and good times bench racing with other "old timers" when the race day is done. I'm the only member of the Brew Crew who remembers a flag man.

Wow John, you've got me beat. My first pass was mid May 71 in my 63 Dodge at West Hampton, later in 71 I was running the Sport Fury in F/SA with a 361/305, the local tech man entered the car as a 62 rather than a 63 so I could run the four barrel.
