71 Charger
My very first car!
Most Disappointing Race
It was another late night of racing on the Milliken Mine road. A series of cars were running 2 at a time. I was up against Emmet R's 1969 - 455 Gran Prix. When we got the "hand drop", the hammers went down. Emmett's posi-trac kicked in and got some half-decent traction on his 60 series tires. He was pulling away fast...there was no doubt my small block mopar was no match for his big block pontiac.
Most Disappointing Night
Bruno B. and I were out cruising the Lacnor Mine road
late one summer night. We stopped at the foot of the lookout
tower hill to "shoot the breeze". Bruno jumped out of his
Chev and says "Dan...let's swap cars". We traded!
Bruno jumped in my Charger and I into his Chev. He got the head
start and by the time he hit the hairpin corner he was cruising about 75
mph. He was heading into the turn way-to-fast and went straight
through the guardrails and down into the swamp. Smashed up the
front end pretty bad...he was ok...but the car was hurting.
