How did you become a Mopar A-body Enthusiast?

I'll make it short. At 16 in '69 i can remember going to our local small town strip and watching Swingers routinely beat most anything in stock classes.I had Cuda's and Challengers all through the 70's but i could never beat a dart or duster..i eventually gave up the glammor and went for performance...and never looked back!
