First Drag strip visit

My first trip to the drag strip was about 1975 or so with my asshole brother in his 71 Mach 1 Mustang at Keystone Dragway in Manitoba. Car had a 429 SCJ 4 speed and either 3.91 or 4.11 gears, with a Detroit locker, all factory. I practically begged him to race it but he wouldn't. I knew he raced on the street so I didn't understand why he didn't want to make at least one pass with it.
The feature attraction was a couple of wheelstanders and they were pretty cool. Somewhere I might have a few old Polaroids from there.
My first trip down the track was in 1981 on my 1980 Yamaha XS 1100 motorcycle at Gimli dragway in Manitoba as Keystone had been closed by then due to a natural gas pipeline. Facing a brisk headwind I ran a best of 13.465 in the 1/4 mile at around 105 mph.
Made a few hundred passes down that track in my 70 Dart, from a peg legged 2.94 geared 318/904 4 bbl running mid 15s at 85ish mph a best of 13.78 with the 360/727 combo and a 3.23 geared Tru trac 8.75 on drag radials at just a hair over 100 mph.
