The first hot rod I ever rode in was Augie Moschera's little "0" after a New Egypt Spedway (1/4 asphalt) feature win in the mid 50s.  Augie would take a few little kids with him on his "checkered flag" victory lap.  I was 5 0r 6 at the time.  My first time sitting, and driving a hot rod was in 1965. It was Chic Ronan's first racer, a 1937 Ford coupe # 35 with a 312 Ford V-8.  He let me pull into his garage.  Chic bought the car, less motor from Augie for $ 200.00!  In today's world, I guess you have to add a few 0s to that price tag!  Scott Ely
