    I was at the 65 SGF meet as a 14 year old kid, but didn't have my own camera yet. I made to to the July 66 meet with my little Kodak. My dad dropped me off at the gate by myself. What an Adventure! I'll never forget it, I wish I could have gotten in the pits because some of the guys might have known my dad. He owned Ralph's Hydramatic Service and built a lot of B&M Hydra-sticks.

    What a great day. I'll post more as I find them.

    Thanks for the memories everybody
