Here's a pic my friend found on facebook, my car is second from the left, it was taken sometime in early 74. To the right is Joe Scotto's 64 Fury, I bought that aluminum hood in 1980. I spoke with the person who put the pic up and he said he was about 15 and he went to National on a Sunday with his dad and shot some pics. Typically I raced at National on Tuesday nights and Hampton on Saturday and Sundays. The chances of me being at front of staging with Scotto on a Sunday and this kid taking and posting this pic on the internet over 40 years later is one in a billion. Did you run at Islip at all? Supposedly my 63 was a record holder there and I have not been able to find anything. I hung out at Islip in the late 60s, we could take our bikes from West Islip and hang out in the trees behind the starting line, I never raced there but started racing at Hampton in May 71 shortly after getting my license. What kind of engine or class was it raced in. There was a 63 out of CI I think that had a 383 and was called Sad Sack, Bowers may have raced his 63 there but I can't think of any others.

Great news, good to see that things are moving in the right direction.
Naturally this all happens as soon as I decide to move back to CT.
I can't win.

LI Sound ferry? There's always New England Raceway or Lebanon. Ferry is expensive and kind of takes forever but if the track ends up way out East it might be a decent alternative. Either way, it won't be a huge deal to drive down from Stamford on a weekend morning. One hour door to door from Huntington now. I imagine the F.A.S.T guys from up by Hartford would be down with some regularity and they're North of Stamford by at least an hour. Same as the crew from the Boogie Down, they're bridging it either way.
