My first was a 1965 Pontiac Catalina 4 door in 1977. It had been the chief of Police's car in Ann Arbor. Michigan. I would have to dig out the calendar they used to time it with to be sure if it was 77 or 78 mph........lol

First trip to Interstate Dragway in Sabin MN. Sep 1991 With my 1970 Nova 355 small block Turbo 400 and N50 Micky Thompson tires. Ran I think mid 13’s Had big block coil springs up front air shocks in the back about looked like a 4x4. Bought it that way. Sparky let me race it that day but had a list of 10-12 things that had to be fixed before it came back to the track. But it was enough to make me want more. Still have the car nothing but the color of the paint is the same. Car is in the trailer fresh motor trans and converter in the shop. Hopefully we will put it back together one of these years. And go play with the Midwest bunch down at Thunder Valley or Brainard.
I always raced something Snowmobiles, motorcycles, ATV’s and Mud trucks. March 13th 1991 I had a bad day at work and spent the next 2 ½ months in the hospital. Now paralyzed from the mid chest down. I told them I would get back to racing something, Sep of 1991 I stopped at the hospital with the race car.

1968 Chevelle SS 396 the weekend before Riverside International Raceway in Pearl, MS. opened. The owner was my aunt's next door neighbor and James invited me the weekend before opening along with a few more to test the timing equipment and track. Very fun weekend for a 15 year old.
