Whew....had to really think for a bit and that hurt something ....LOL. Yeah that was me. I was driving a friends 64 361/265 HP Sport Fury off and on. He was a bad driver and he asked me to drive so why not ! Thats about all I remember other than I won with a hole shot against a blue 61 Pontiac. I beat the same Pontiac at Capital Raceway a week or two later. We got trophies for class wins back then. Can you imagine.....class run offs at a local track every weekend !!!!! His car was bone stock. No slicks, no gears (3.23's) closed exhaust, etc. He never got serious about drag racing and he got married. End of his racing days....LOL. We had a lot of cheap fun back in those days. My car was a 65 with a 426 street wedge and I think I got beat that day with mine. I got beat quite a bit.....Heh Heh. I had M/T headers, 3.91 gears, and a few other things done. Never had the engine apart though. I was drafted in the Army later that winter and sold mine. I bought a 66 Vette 327/350 HP after the Nam vacation and cruised the Louisville Ky, street sene.
