A friend I had in high school's (Steve Christian) father (Weldon Christian) had a 63 Plymouth Max Wedge race car. I went to the old Tulsa North Dragstrip to watch it run and was hooked. I ended up racing my 1957 Plymouth once or twice at that track.

They later had a 64 Plymouth Max Wedge lightweight and had several other cars ending with a Pro Stock Duster. Steve and I along with other friends traveled all over Division 4 and 5 racing in the summer.

After they quit racing and I got out of the Army and friend and I build a 67 Dodge Dart then later a 69 Barracuda that still have.

I certainly have acquired lots of great friends I would have never known otherwise.
