1963, Kent Wa. (Pacific Raceway) SCCA race. My father was a Pit Marshall, me a 8Yo motorhead. Shelby send 3-Cobra (Car# 97,98,99) to clean the NW Corvette's clock's and pick-up easy point's for the natl. runoff's. This 8Yo spend the whole weekend, around these LOUD car's & LOUD guy's, I did whatever they asked polished car's, wheel's, got drink's, etc. They kinda took me under their wing, even gave me a shirt (wish I still had it ), end of the weekend ( Ken Miles ) threw me a helmet and said get in, well 2-3 QUICK Lap's (Steering with the throttle, 4 wheel drift's ) needless to say a Cobra and Ken Miles lover forever !!!!! At the end of the ride he popped open his bubble shield, looked at me, and asked were you scared, I said "No Sir that was the greatest ride ever" I think he was disappointed. If you look at my introduction there is more of the story there, Tom (Alfa02)
