Watching Wide World of Sports in 1970 saw the brand new Pro Stock class and got hooked. Started buying all the car rags to follow Da Grump and Sox. I was 12. Went to US30 as a spectator in 74, made my first pass in 76.

Met up with a buddy of Lyn Smith's in the early 80s and started following Stock and SS.

Helped Mike Jeffrey with his Diplomat for awhile.

Still bracket racing, got most of the stuff to build a nice V/SA car, maybe when I retire in a year or so.
