My dad. He was a car guy growing up but "outgrew it" when he got married at 20. Always remember hearing him talk about drag racing his 55 & 57 Chevys and only getting beat once. Had a 283 he built with the Duntov cam, worked power pack heads, and a 3x2 intake and a 6x2 intake that he would switch back and forth attached to a Vette 3 speed. Said the only thing that beat him was a 348 mill that was a "freak of nature". Burnt the 55 to the ground at a drive in when the float stuck and dumped gas all over the hot engine. I know those 3g's are bad about that since my 348 does that regularly! LOL!
I'd have to say "he" hooked me! Heck, I remember my first model was a blue 67 or 68 Z28 when I was 5, wasn't even a snap together!
