I liked building model cars and U control airplanes in Jr and Sr high school, what really hooked me on wanting to go fsat was a ride in a street rod with a stock J2 Olsmobile (372 C.I.Tri power motor in a 2300 lb roadster). He had built it out of varoius parts, 1929 model A frame Zed, 1923 Dodge roaster pick up bucket, 1949 Olsmobile rear end and suspension on 8.20x15 recap street tires on the rear. It burnt rubber and fishtailed real bad in all three gears (it was stick shift ) like there was no tomorrow, I loved it That was in 1961-62 era and I have been hooked on going fast every since I was 17 and he was around 23, I went to high school with his brother in law and met him thru my friend Johnny Powel His name was Tookie Smith he is now deceased Have fun while you can
