I was 8 years old and in 1962 at the Arizona State Fairgrounds 1 mile dirt oval.

My introduction to the awesome sound of the Offy.

AJ Foyt won the 100 lap race. Went to pits afterwards and got autographs from McCluskey, Foyt, Hurtubise, Parnelli, and many others.

My most vivid memory was getting Bob Hogle's autograph in the Tamale Wagon Offy. His hands were all blistered up and bleeding from hanging on for 100 laps.
