1962 Dover drag strip with my 55 Chevrolet 265 k/s still going strong and having fun.

Beginning in '66, would get dropped off at Dover Drag Strip on Sundays to watch the likes of Sir Tom and Lee Valentine, Clem LaChance, Bill Casey, Jim Lovallo, the Terenzio Bros. etc. Started crewing for a neighbor with his brand new '68 Camaro in 1968 already hooked, Got my drivers license in '71 and drove my '57 Chevy Wagon straight to Dover. Took it off the road and have raced continueously since '72. Enjoy it today as much as I did over 40 years ago !

My first pass was in 1967 in my mom's 61 Buick Skylark at Bowling Green. That car had a 221 cu. in. All aluminum V8 with a very small afb carb. Took the air cleaner off so in could hear that afb.
