My dad raced modifieds at area tracks around the tri-state area (Cincinnati) from 1949 thru 1960 but, I got hooked when he took me to my first USAC sprint car race at IRP in 1961 and Parnelli cleaned their clocks. Been hooked on sprinters and Parnelli ever since. He took me to my first 500 in '64 Stand J (exit of turn 4). Can you imagine what this 10 yr old kid witnessed within the first 3 minutes of that race??? An incredible experience !!!!!!!!
