Very first race: Shangri-la Speedway, Owego NY. The date was most likely Sunday May 1, 1966. I was three months old at the time. My father worked on a modified stock car driven by Don Diffendorf (# S/360) who was the winner that day. The top three finishers were: Diffendorf, Jim Shampine and Billy Blum.

I saw my very first open wheel race (supermodifieds), at a pavement track, Oswego Speedway, Oswego NY some time in 1972. My first open wheel show on dirt was a URC winged sprint race at Weedsport Speedway, Weedsport NY on July 4, 1976. That race won by Randy Wolfe.
