Being from the Flint, Michigan area, all my high school friends had 1 or both parents working for G.M. It was after all where all the Small Block chevy's and Buick V-6 and V-8's were built. we tried to race anything ( my dad's mercury monterey 4 dr. with snow tires at Lapeer Dragway). my brother and I used to go to Gratiot Auto Supply and dream about what we would buy and do if we had a race car ( we couldn"t afford anything back then) we would read about Paul Mercure, mike keener,wally booth, Ronnie Mancini, Andy manarino,mark yamarino(RIP), It's ironic they became friends years later...
