My first race at a drag strip was when I was in the Canadian army stationed at Chilliwack, British Columbia in 1955
I had a 1937 chev with split manifold and 2 single barrel carbs, me and a buddy went to an old air force base in Abbotsford, B.C.
I think this drag strip was the forerunner to the Mission Dragway.

BTW, I think they put me in G/Gas and I ran way over the record at an astonishing sub 20 second run at just over 65 mph.
