my first race was in august 1971 at bethany mo. they had hotrod, hotstock, showroom-option, and showroom. fist time i had ever been to one. sitting in the stands a friend of mine with a mustang 289 3 speed told me if i could get the car in stock i could race it. i took it over and weighed it in and they classified it in option because it had a high rise on it. he let me run iy anyway. i took second and have been hooked since. still racing there today. check it out at
