It was in 1966, i was 11, my older brothers took me to Englishtown when the orig. pits
were on the other side.
At that time no one under 17 was allowed in the pits.
So i sat by myself and the cars came pass me on the return road.
That's when they just ran class.
They had it all. A/S Corvettes,
427 Biscaynes, All of the 56 Sedan Delivery Jr. Stockers.
Right then n there, HOOKED...

My brother had a 66 Nova just like "The Grump" 327-350 & actually raced him in class
competition.

EVERYONE flat towed there cars.
