Fortunately, I was small enough that I could get under the Z/28 and remove and install the driveshaft without having to jack it up. Probably a year later we really stepped it up with the purchase of those tow hubs! Man we were first class then! Find a good pit spot and back the truck up to the fence at Cecil where Grandmom could sit in the lawn chair and see the races and we were set!
I also remember those funny cars coming to the track on the ramp trucks. I remember Tommy Ivo's enclosed clear sided ramp truck. I like looking back at the pictures from that era and seeing the hair and clothing styles along with the "old" cars and trucks in the background.
Yep, a lot of fun!!!
Safe Trips All!!!
