My Son we have a neat little story to tell his kids someday. I bought a 1970 Duster years ago for a street cruiser and for my ex-wife to race. I put together a nice little engine for it and she ended up going 12.20's. She raced up to her 5th month of pregnancy and then hung it up.

Years later after a second son we ended up getting divorced so I kept the car and several times took the boys for a ride in it. They both continued to go to the track with me but my youngest never got the drag racing bug but Matt who was inside Moms belly can't live without it. I ended up giving him that car and here he is 29 years later.

Now although my youngest son Ethan now 24 never got the drag racing bug and is living and working in an autobody shop in Colorado owns this car and from what I hear they have some get up and go.
