Nearly 50 years ago in May 1963 I made my first pass at Atco. The car was dad's 1962 Olds Starfire.
It's been a blast

LOOKING FORWARD TO MY 60TH

I returned a few weeks later with my own car a 1950 Olds coupe. Headers consisted of a stub flange with flexible tubing held on with muffler clamps and the collectors were huge coffee cans.
IT WAS LEGAL

Congrats!!! My first pass was in 63 also with my newly purchased 63 Plymouth Max wedge convert. Oswego dragway in Oswego, Il. They were still using a flag start, but converted towards the end of the year.
