My first pass at Black Hills Dragway, in Belle Fourche,SD was in 1975 with my 71 Mach 1, 351 cleveland 4speed, 3.25 open rear. Went mid 15's at low 90s mph. Had to drive it out and then get on it, to keep it from spinning. It was all stock then. Second time I raced it I won $100 for winning slow et. That $100 has cost me many thousands since with this drag race addiction but wouldn't change a thing.
