My first time racing at a drag strip was at Fontana Drag City in Fontana, CA in my mothers new 1964 Dart 270 four door sedan with the new(at that time)273 V8 two barrel single exhaust no less I was put into K/SA Formula 3, 10 or 12 other cars in that class that night, I beat them all This was in the day that they line you up with three other cars and started us with a flag starter, 3 rounds later I had my fisrt trophy racing at a race track, I had whup some other cars on the street for fun before that so the flag starter wasn't nothing new I raced that car twice that year and won both times I've been hook every since EDIT, That 1964 Dart 273 ran 17:70s if I'm remembering correctly, not as fast as my 1971 street Duster
