Match Race 1972 ~ 'Duster 340 vs 'GTO 400'

That's a very cool poster, just a little before my time. My first time at the track was in the fall of 70'. By accident, i was on a day trip with my friend and his Dad in southern Md. to shoot some guns and ride mini-bikes on some property that was owned by the family. We kept seeing trailer after trailer on the road with drag cars and when I asked about it, his Dad says oh, there's a dragstrip down here. After some prodding from my bud and I, we got him to detour right to Aquasco. After seeing drag racing in real life, I was totally hooked.

My personal racing days started with a pass at 15yrs old at 75-80 Dragway in Urbana/Frederick, Md.
