Re: how did you get bit by the racing bug?
It was in 1966, i was 11, my older brothers took me to Englishtown when the orig. pits
were on the other side. At that time no one under 17 was allowed in the pits. So i sat by myself and the cars came pass me on the return road. That's when they just ran class. They had it all. A/S Corvettes, 427 Biscaynes, All of the 56 Sedan Delivery Jr. Stockers. Right then n there, HOOKED... My brother had a 66 Nova just like "The Grump" 327-350 & actually raced him in class competition. EVERYONE flat towed there cars.

Re: how did you get bit by the racing bug?
I was really lucky..my cousin was the anouncer at our track Napierville Dragway in Quebec. Summer of '64 and haven't stopped...crewed on cars in the late 60's and my first trip to INDY was 1970. We had an altered at that time then to modified production. Today I'm still living the dream travelling through Division 1 and 3 with a Super/Stock Camaro.

Re: how did you get bit by the racing bug?
The year: 1976
The event: Sportsnationals The place: Beech Bend Raceway, Bowling Green, KY The hook: At age 15, it was loud engines, fast Stockers and Super Stockers with shiny paint, polished aluminum, and the smell of racing fuel.  I was the only one of the 8 kids in our family to get bit by the drag racing bug.
