Paul, good work on the research. When I was around 12, I went to Roosevelt horse track off Old Country rd. in Westbury N.Y.. They set up an 1/8 mile dragstrip in the parking lot, I can remember the Pacers racing there. One day there was a 1962 Ram Charger that showed up with an automatic in it. It put all the 421 Pontiac, 4 speed's to shame.
I think that the year was 1962 that they had the race track set up.
