Started going to the drags with my cousin in 1958 at the old
Kahuku airstrip in Hawaii, back before they opened the Campbell
race course.
he ran a 32 coupe with a Hilborn injected
flathead.
body & rollcage with no floorpan at all. so weird to see the
runway below and have gravel bounce up into the car.
damn we were stupid then, had a lot of fun, but dumb..
Used to watch Roland Leong, before he took his
cars to the mainland to race.
