I always liked cars, when I was a teen in Pittsburgh I was into the cruising thing until I heard about a drag strip, My first trip to a track and first time on one was an old 1/8 mile (I think) track near New Castle Pa by the Ohio border, I went a few times with my 64 Dart. After I moved to N.J. in 73 I went to Island Dragway and Englishtown to watch, then a friend built a 72 Duster for a cool street car after getting tired of that he started racing it and I helped. Then I bought my Dart in 1982 and I started racing it weekly a few years later with help from a couple of longtime Mopar guys including my trans guy/ close friend who raced a Mopar factory sponsored Stocker in the early 70s. Now over 25 years later I`m still racing the same Dart and all my friends are still involved in weekly racing also except my friend with the Duster he broke a motor quite a few years ago and we haven`t seen him since.
