This Weekend's Question: Your First Street Car  

My first car was a 1960 Corvette Tuxedo Black/Red Signet interior 283/245 4 speed paid $1,300 in 1966. Gave that car to my brother when I enlisted in the US Army. Rod Stalnecker (raced a Red 1940 Willys Coupe sponsored by S&W Speed Shop out of Spring City Pa.) installed a 270 ISKY cam and springs which made a huge difference in speed and performance. My brother traded that car in 1970 at Stoudt Auto Sales in Reading Pa. For a 1968 SS 396/375 Royal Plum/Black interior. Moved to California mid 70’s met Gary Schroeder bought his 3/4 midget 1983. Raced that car and won the 1984 California Motor Sports Association at Venture County Fairgrounds. In 1984 I won the Western States National Midget Racing Association as Owner at Ascot Park Gardena California with Gary Schroeder behind the wheel. Sold that car back to Gary 1988. Retired in 2019 after 38 years from Santa Monica BMW moved to Brookhaven Ga. Thank you Joe for this wonderful sight that I can keep up with the drivers I use to watch at Sanatoga, Hatfield, Reading, Nazareth, Flemington, Harmony, ect. Especially The late Old Desperado Mose Moore. I worked with Mose at the Limerick Texaco in Pennsylvania he took me to Nazareth National race 1966/67 when he drove the #9 for Russ and Lonnie.
