Fire Dept Drag Racing

I had completely forgotten about those trucks. I had a 63 Dodge max wedge that I bought from Freeport Dodge. It took 14 weeks to get and I race at Islip, W. Hampton and on the street every night "Sunrise Highway". I used it to drive to work everyday from Baldwin to Bellmore and wore it out in a year. I couldn't keep up with the new parts let alone the cost to rebuild it so I sold the engine and transmission to the Hempstead Fire Dept. tournament truck. I remember seeing them on Wide World of Sports. Those were crazy wild days.

Thanks Paul.
