    Thanks for all that fellas. We still have to remember. We have a very unusual situation when we go in there with these things. And possibly right away they think you’re trying to pull a fast one. Yes, it’s another reason. I haven’t done anything with mine. I’m trying to get it roadside inspection ready to say the least. I am not driving it down there with a torn up nose, ha ha.

    And 74 I had a 55 Chevy convertible and a station wagon four-door and a girlfriend ha ha ha I think I’ve been to star once I’m not sure me ann nod a buddy of mine, I’ve known since we were 10 drove up somewhere to an oval dirt stock car truck I’m not sure where we were or what the name of it was. Does that sound familiar? In fact I still keep in touch with that kid. I just talked to him on the phone last night, he’s doing really good as a body shop in Tennessee now and still works.

    We used to go there quite a bit when we were a teenagers. I haven’t been there since about 1974. I just looked it up on Google to see if it was still there and it says yes it’s still standing and it’s still active but it says they closed on Saturday And Sunday this did not sound right to me. Does anybody know anything about the place or is that a misprint or what’s the deal weekend? That’s when everybody is off why would the drag strip be closed? I figured somebody would know. Thanks, Bob.

    Took some a little bit longer to go under than others really missed the pension. I missed mine by about a month of being vested it only woulda been around 200 a week since the company was gone, but that’s certainly better than nothing
