My buddy's father who owned a Plymouth dealership sponsored us. We were burning up the track in our class, until we got to the regionals.

Yep, our car was defeated by this big, old, ugly, fat guy, smoking a cigar and driving an old, rusty, 4 door, tri-powered Pontiac .........

Bummer!

Oh for 65 I'll take a Shelby Cobra. Dad always said I was born too late for my tastes as if I had some control on that point. I was raised to appreciate the classics. In retrospect even the old pinto wagon I hated had it's good points if you can get past a few explosive points.
