In 1968 bought my first real car 1963 Pontiac Catalina factory 4 speed, the guy I bought it from suggested lets see what it can run in 1/4. Sooooo went to New York National speedway and luck would have it my first race was against Sam biondo, in a bracket race (image that’s your first race). Lost but got hooked forever. And by the way I have never beaten a biondo yet. I can still remember Sam looking over and pacing me as we race.
