It CHIRPED the tire!

Oh man - it was soooo funny. Anyhow.

The Chevelle - is sitting at an idle when I left. I was running with my drivers window rolled down. I'd look at the folks in the stands. Wave. I mean c'mon, I had a long way to go to get to 60 mph and I was having the most fun I could have. Or make. It was nutty. This friggin '53 Buick getting all of this attention that afternoon. Remember all of those "older" guys we went to see?
They were hating me 'bout now. Fulper's goofy little brother is out there geting attention like crazy. Not one of them talked to me later. Reminds me of several guys I know now - that I used to look up to but after I started going fast in Super Stock quit talking to me. Oh well. Live and learn 'bout those special personalities eh?

Anyhow - the Chevelle has to wait 6.7 seconds. I actually watched his lights come down and saw him leave from my inside rear view mirror. It was a four speed car and watching him row the gears in the mirror was something else. I watched him til it was time for me to shift, once.

At the stripe he came around me like Terry Sherrill. I looked up at the lights and once again I couldn't tell who won, but I could hear the crowd going nuts.

As I was coming down the gravel return road I saw the Chevelle blast off from the ET shack, throwing rocks everywhere. I thought....me?

The ET shack girl had the BIGGEST grin on her face, oh man......I had won.

I had paid $75 for the car, and just won $125 bucks!

Shoe polish: The "Green Wastelands" was a self made reference from the WHO's "Teen Age Wastelands" song. The car was green. Portholes were identified as "Zoomies." Of course as I mentioned way earlier - a reference to some relatives I never met, "Fulper's Auto Parts," and some other teenage nonsense fun.

The kid - the check - the Buick:
