Son of a B.........Now that you mentioned it, it was 50 years ago, this year, that I raced in my first NHRA race at Flightland north of Omaha. I guess that if I haven't had enough sense to stop by now, I might as well do it for the rest of my life....LOL

Oh, but we didn't have radials then, as you know, we used 7 inch cheaters that we usually had to put on jack stands and file them down.....I still have the scars... And I am sure that my 56 Chevy went faster than a 1.27 60 ft.....but we just didn't have any short times then..LOL
