Silly Season II What was your 1st Street car &/OR race car?

[joe huestis]

First street and race car was a '57 Chevy 210 Wagon. My Dad bought it in 1968 as a station car to drive to work with the intent of turning it over to me for my 16th birthday. It had a 6 cyl with 3 on the tree.Well, the 6 eventually expired prior to my birthday and I replaced it with a 283- 4V with a hurst 3 speed shifter. Ran the car at Dover Drag Strip in Wingdale, NY and collected a total of 15 plus trophies with it before a blew it up on my first pass in 1973 of the new season. Sold the '57 and purchased my '69 Camaro that same year converting it into a stocker which I ran from '73 to '80 until I sold it. Built my '69 Nova which I ran in V/SA from '81 to '83, then purchased my Monza which I currently race now for the past 30 years. Time sure does fly !!
