Boy does that stuff bring back fond memories. My father was part of the Ford Drag Team back then with Al Joniec and Rice& Holman Ford. I used to go to dealers with him and help with " The Going Thing " racer clinics. I remember having a huge clinic at Rice & Holman Ford with Joniec and the 2 car team of Hubert Platt and Randy Payne and the following day we had a Match Race at Atco Dragway pairing Platt & Payne's Mustang and Torino against Norm Fryer's" 007" Biscayne and his new 69 Camaro. To this day I still have boxes of Ford Drag Team decals, patches and all the paperwork we handed out to the racers.
But the best things I still have from then is my father's Ford Drag Team jacket and my 69 428CJ Ram Air Mercury Cougar XR7 convertible.
