Arfons was at the old Toledo Municipal Airport (Glass City Dragway) when I tried to race my MoPed (stalled at the 1/8 mark). They chained a junker to the tail of the Green Monster and burned it to the ground. The real experiance was 60's bikers trying to get my MoPed to run... First taste of drag strip people. That's what really hooked me.
