One of my fondest racing memories was in the early 70's at New England Dragway where we were pitted next to "Shirley Shahan" and her "Crew Chief" husband with my fist street/strip car, a 1964 Falcon with a Boss 302 drive train out of a friends dads totalled car that I bought from his insurance company for a whopping $300 bucks

It wasn't running all that well and Shirley came over with her husband and asked if they could take a look. Well in a few minutes with some minor tuning they got the 302 running like a top and on that next pass made my very fist wheels up run....I think about this often....just pure racers with an incredible love for the sport and a willingness to step up and help the little guy....true champions
