Built my first Hot Rod in 1953, all wood, Briggs & Stratton cement mixer engine, PF Keds brakes, closet rod and rope steering, flamed orange crate body. 1957, first car, '50 Chevy hard top. I installed a 283 in '58. Raced C gas Aquasco '58 til closing. Capitol Raceway & Budds Creek day they first opened. Paid $100 for a '55 Bel Air hardtop and drove it home from Clinton Ford then built a killer 301, 4 speed, 4.11 posi, Atlas bucron tires = mega street racing around DC, Maryland, Virginia. Rosina was the Count-down Queen ! Created the "Sluggs" Car Club in 1957.
Had hot rod garage "Chevy Specialties" on Capitol Hill, Washington DC 1957 until robbed in 1963. Street Raced a killer '55 Chev hardtop '59 to '63. Track only '57 post, Rochester injected D stock.
