Made my first pass at 75-80 Dragway in June / 1962, had my drivers license two weeks, took my moms '62 Dodge Polara 361 4 barrel car and ran 16.70's @85 mph, spun like mad. The car felt faster on the street. Won C/SA trophy, only one other car entered, hid the trophy, many years later, maybe 20 or so I told her about racing her Dodge, she wasn't thrilled about it after all that time. Can't understand it! Oh, had the trophy for years, ex tossed it back in the '80's I guess.
