Oh OK, Tony - I never realized that. Back then, Glen Campbell's was on Main Street in Williamsville, near where the Thruway now crosses rte. 5 (Main St.). In High School ('59) the back of their lot was our favorite place to pick up our girlfriends, and park. First we would buy a Quart of Miller High Life and some Marlboros (about $.25 then),. Sunoco 260 was about $.26, so $3 worth of gas would take us for a lot of cruising - even with 2 4barrels !!! Dunkirk Airport Dragstrip was the only local race track. I remember when Don Garlits showed up. They had no finish line lights, so there was a guy standing at the finish line on each side of the track and the one that was on the winning side would wave his flag if that side was the winner.
