This is when it started for me (Pic)
Here is an old photo I just scanned in. It is me in the summer of 66 or 67 with my uncles car. As I recall it was a 66 427/425 HP car. I remember my dad taking me out for a ride. It just smoked the tires at will. I can still smell the rubber burning. Unfortunatly he wrecked this one. He had about 4 more Vettes but this one was my favorite because it was my first ride in a Vette
