Yeah I'm still dumb.

When I was 16 and 17 I worked at PIR. We ran Wednesday night 1/8th mile. Back then we called it grudge racing. And of course worked the bigger events as well. Then I traveled with McCulloch and Whipple in '70 and '71


I know Schumway... I was down the road at Covington (a few years later than you though!)

PIR still runs 1/8th mile on Wednesdays (NHRA bracket racing). I did a father daughter project a couple of years ago and built a Vega drag car for her to race when she was 16. She had great reactions and enjoyed whooping the guys... fun times out there.

I remember Ed "The Ace" McCulloch... don't remember Whipple.
