Same race, some other racer had a '55 Chev who had to change sun visors because the ones in his car were out of a '57.


My how times have changed!

I remember Bob. He was darn well going to be the last car up in the staging lanes for eliminations.

First time I ever knew of 60' times, was when sharing a track rental with R&M, at Ardmore, OK. They had the clocks from the unused lane set up at 60'. Showed up as the et from the other lane on the slip. Lee made several short passes, evidently just working on their 60' times. I was too dumb to know how to use that info.
