As a kid whose Dad had a '59 Pontiac wagon with a 389 Tri-Power in it sitting in the garage, I was starting to get into NASCAR watching those Poncho's race. Learning all about 10:1 compression ratio's and why we always needed to fill it with Chevron Custom Supreme or it'd ping like crazy when pulling the trailer on vacation. In those days the air ride suspension still worked so you had to jack it up with the car in the full 'up' position. My brother and I got the dubious task of changing the spark plugs as our hands were small enough to get around the A/C compressor and the air ride pump/power steering pump. Our go kart racing days were just around the corner.
