A co-worker brought one of his many Drag News newspapers to work a couple of days ago.I thought it was pretty cool.He showed me where he was listed in the results(I think) where he drove a Lark(older guys will know this car) and I think won his class.He said he was 14 at the time :lol:

Thought you guys & girls might get a kick out of it
