The VW was not my first pass. Just one of the more interesting. My first Pass was in a T-Bird owned by a guy that was dating a girl down the street.
We all were talkin one day and the strip came up. We talked him into going. (None of us had cars yet too young). He said he didn't know anything about racing, the guys said Let Paul drive, he said OK.
I thought he would be watching me like a hawk, but I looked over just before my lane was called, and he was at the fence eating a hotdog and
checking out the girls. I think we were in K/SA about a 17 sec car. (390 4-bbl-auto). Anyway we went a couple rds & TROPHYED. Yes I trophyed
first time out. Probly what hooked me.
Anyway he and the neighbor girl broke up, I never saw him, or the trophy again. But no matter, I was HOOKED big time.
(ps) Oh btw I didn't even have a license yet.......
