First off my Dad had almost zero interest in racing but one time going to camp and don't ask my why, my Dad floored it. The old 1971 Chrysler New Yorker (440 engine) went from 55 mph to 115 plus and I'm in the back seat rubbing my hands like I won the lottery. Mom was half screaming, half laughing, saying what are you teaching Johnny. Well Dad, you taught me well. THANKS!!!!!!

Then it was around 130 mph in an old Pontiac grand prix with a 425 engine and shortly after that a Friend took me for a ride in his 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner with a 440 (6 pak) that from my view was in the 140 mph area. All well over 30 years ago but I remember it like it was yesterday. I've been stuck at a personal best of 160 mph since 2010 when I wrecked my Daytona. Since my heads up car will be set up for 1/8 mile racing that may end up being the life bar for me. I will never be a dragster guy or we could raise the bar some.
