We used to go Greenwich to the old Moroso Speed Shop but first stop was at the McDonalds next door and we'd bring our food to the shop and hang out and read National Dragster with our friend Everett Mastrich who was the manager. Dick was rarely there because he was developing the new manufacturing facility in Stamford making Fiberglas body components and oil pans which was headed up by Mike Canton. A friend Steve Flett worked there with Mike.
When Dick bought the Corvette (see Mike's photo) it was white with Paul Blevins name on it, the '55 Nomad was parked there as well.
Back at the Speed Shop, Charlie Castaldo used to drop in among other racers. One memory I have was seeing the first Cragar Super Tricks and thinking how light they were.
Before Everett (M/SA Monte Carlo) became manager it was Ben Kaufman who was my friend Steve's brother in law and Ben was a Ford guy who had a '65 D/MP Ford Fairlane and also a matching street car with Moroso 7.60-15 all the was around! Those were the days!
