Hey a kids gotta start somewhere! Remember the past,embrace the future, and enjoy right now.............and never forget what a Modified Vette sounds like in the traps! I know you all were referring to the sixties and seventies, but think of the change that has occurred since the mid eighties.

Brian,
I got my start in the early 70's. Raced into the 80's, parked my car in 1988. We drove to the track,later we towed with tow bars. Eventually I bought a trailer, still have it to this day. I'm just getting my feet wet, slowly trying to get reinviolved in racing.
It was starting when I left racing but seems to be even more intense today. It amazes me how much people are tying up in tow vehicles and trailers.
