Capt Spaulding that story took me there. I really thank you for that. I could really imagine you at that age being there and felt like I was living it too. It's things like that in life that just make me proud to be involved in car mania. It must of been so cool to hang out in that shop. I did the same in shops and garages at that age on up to 18 years old and then moved away from the city to the Jersey Shore. AJ Foyt, my God that is something people like me dreamed of. All I had was Raceway Park in Englishtown to meet the best Drag Racers. Thanks again for putting this old man on a natural high. Great writing.
