Ronnie,

My first ride: A 55' chevy that Red Morris still runs at the valley. I have told him as well as every other member of his family that I want it if he ever decides to move it. We only bracket raced it, but Red runs it in IHRA crate motor stock some times, it's orange/white two tone. I was 16 and racing a stock stick shift Opel GT in gambler races, Dad had to come and get me with it broke down on the way to school one too many times, so he decided he would show me how to race the right way.....two weeks later his street ride (the 55') was my first racecar. I can remember winning the gambler race on the first wednesday night we ever tested the car, Mom still has pictures somewhere. It ran 6.80's or so on the 1/8th, and what I remember most about it was how easy it was to just go to the track and enjoy driving it. Makes me miss Pop just thinking about it, thanks for the post
