congrats on 50 years of drag racing, it's the only sport that never stopped being awesome.
in April of '63 I took delivery of my new Plymouth Savoy superstock 426, cost out the door $2904.00, with that car I had the best seat in the house to see Tommy Grove run the Melrose missile at Fremont- I was in the other lane..
my first race was 1960 at Lodi california (kingdon) with my '53 Olds.
still hacking away with my restored 1965 Jim Davis AA/FD with a 392 hemi- is there anything else?
