1966 - took my red '63 Chevy Super Sport, 283 2bbl 3 Speed on the floor to Porter (old, sadly now closed, drag strip north of Houston). They teched me in O/S. Don't remember what it ran, but it was slow.

My main memory was being in the staging lanes with all of the Houston legends - Raymond Martin, Nickens Bros, Willis Ragsdale, Earl Muscarili, Sammy Cunningham and several others. I was so nervous that I would screw up and do something wrong.
