First Car to the Strip

1968 Saginaw dragstrip, took my 1966 Impala SS 327/275 hp 4 speed there and ran Pure Stock. Won class, my first race and first trophy. Still have the trophy, car was black with white interior, went with a buddy from school (GMI in Flint)l, we had 'The Buzzard' and an outline of the state of Ohio in shoe polish on the side. Got to the semi finals in eliminator. Met Al Provost at that race, he came over and wanted to know what some Ohio boys were doing up there. He was running a 58 Biscayne I think at the time in Stock.
