My high school introduction to drag racing.

That was your high school intro to drag racing?

I just thought that every red blooded American boy got his introduction by taking his own, or his father’s car, out to the local “quarter mile”,  (every tiny little town had their designated quarter mile stretch of country black top) and lining up against someone else in town who thought his dad’s car was faster.

That’s how I did it. ?

My entire drag racing career played out on a stretch of county road 32 on the outskirts of Wells Minnesota.

Mine was on U.S.24... Telegraph Rd. in Redford Michigan... Those were the days...??

As a kid, my only knowledge of drag racing was from old Hot Rod magazines. I loved the Pinto and Vega Pro Stocks! My dad and his brother were into 1/4 mile dirt track racing at Corpus Christi Speedway so we spent pretty much every Saturday night there. My uncle built and raced street stock cars, going through one every season or two. He used up a lot of mid 60s Chevelles back in the day.
