After much begging my dad finally agreed to take the 12 year old me to see the 1967 Bridgehampton race. The next couple of years I started taking the train to see the Can AM and Trans AM at Bridgehampton. I was still too young to drive and the adults really didn't want to be bothered. I loved those cars. I had slot cars of many of them.

When I was a kid my father was deep in to SCCA racing and a family friend who drove FV and GT2 was asked to drive a Can-Am car (ASR, same thing) to pad the entry list and thus help keep the class alive. The friend was a very accomplished driver with an impressive win list - but the first time he drove the Can Am he lit up the rear tires and spun IN THE PITS. Those cars were a massive handful even for a very talented and experienced racing driver.

Myself and two other drivers campaigned BMWs out of the garage at Sears Point behind T- 11 directly across from magee Motorsports. They were prepping one of the Shadow cars for the following weekend at Laguna Seca vintage races. When that shadow fired up it was like thunder ... Everyone dropped their wrenches whatever they were doing and walked out to turn 11 to watch the practice laps. It was like the pied Piper of sports cars possessed us!

These drivers were my heros growing up. I had a slot car track with the cars.
