First Drag strip visit

Late 69 and went with my room mate. He had a BIL that was racing and well, I entered with my first car.....a 66 Belvedere modoor with a poly teen. Back then it was all class racing and well, I lost lol but it was a thrill to just make a pass. It wasn't long before that poly teen came out and a 383 went in and the rest is history. Won class several times with the 383 but never did all that well in eliminations but was at the track all the time until Uncle Sam got me....and it wasn't until the early 80's that I started going again and was there all the time and for years! By then, it was bracket racing and did ok in that. In 84 I had a 10.60 car and well, I was on cloud 9....
