When I was 17 I raced my 56 Chevy with a 235 with three on the tree at a track the called the tar pits.I had an exceptional quick 235 and I beat everybody in my "L" stock class except-----------you guessed it an old Hudson with the 308. Being I was just a kid and no money I had to run as is---if I could have put some deeper gears in it the story would have been different. I would eat him up out of the hole, but as we were approaching the traps he would catch me and beat me by a half a fender.It happened every week, he would push it to the line cause he had a broken head bolt and water would pump out. Just as the lights were to go green he would fire the beast up and drop the clutch------what fun times---both his back windows were covered with trophy stickers---I wished he would have stayed home a weekend or two. His was two tone black and red and my two door post was sherwood green metalic----enough ramblings.........52er
