First Drag strip visit
What a great thread!
Must have been '74
or so.
First time I went to a track was in south Richmond VA, not the current Dinwiddie/Petersburg track.
My current wife, she was my girlfriend then, had money and I built a decent 340 for her 65 Barracuda.
We rode up to the track from Newport News VA, about an hour, watched the brackets on Friday night.
Raced some fools with motorcycles on Interstate 64 on the way back home.
We had 5 people in the Barracuda and that thing flew!
First time I raced was in my 64 Barracuda at the same track.
225 slant six with a 500 Holley 2 Barrel.
4 Speed, Firestone Cheater Slicks and all the speed parts a broke kid could afford.
That old Barracuda went 15 flat in the quarter, and I was HOOKED!
