So how far back does your Mopar experience go?

My first recollection of having anything to do with Mopars was in 1970, when my dad had his 70 Roadrunner. He had a buddy named Bob who had a 70 GTX Hemi car who would come over and off they would go to Telegraph to race. My brother and I would slide under Bobs car and marvel at the big chrome oil pan he had on there.

My grandfather was a Kendall oil rep, and took us to all manner of races, mostly drag racing events, but anything Kendall sponsored. He knew all the big names in racing that used Kendall, and we spent a lot of time in the pits, sitting in the racers cars, leaning over the dragsters and watching guys working on their cars, and going up in the tower with grandpa. My brother was sitting on John Grivens lap while he was on the mic and called him fat over the loud speaker, another big memory for us all. We ran around to all of the vendors collecting stickers, they were like gold to us! Those are some of my first recollections of being a car guy.
