Mine would have been Spring 1962 at Freeport Stadium on Long Island N.Y. Where I grew up,you could hear the races.As I remember,I had done something worth a reward(a rarity at that time)and my parents said they'd take me anywhere I wanted.The races were running,so I pointed to the noise and said "I want to go there".The next Saturday we went. The sights,the sounds,the smells,I was instantly hooked! I remember that there were Midgets(TQ's?),Modifieds and Novice Stockcars running that night. I think Bruno Brackey or Al DeAngelo may have won the Modifieds.And I seem to remember a buzz about a driver in the Midgets.There was a young Italian kid out of Pennsylvania making a name at that time,Mario Andretti!
