Thanks again for all of the added info.

The avitar is a shot of my first NASCAR Sportsman taken during a track run-in/dryout session at Fonda Speedway, Fonda NY in 1963 or 64. I was 16/17 years old at that time and racing on dirt against many current and future Nascar Sportsman and Modified National Champion drivers such as Bill Wimble, Rene Charland, Don MacTavish, Jim Cook and Ernie Gahan.

The car was a 1937 Ford coupe that my father put together with a lot of odds and ends left over from my Uncle's old race cars. At this point in time it only had a 312 Ford engine. I never did fair too well against most of the hot shoes but I did have a great time for a few years. I eventually chopped it down in size and ran every thing in it from a 327 Chey to a 390 Ford.
