The big grade was coming so my Dad started going faster and faster. We were probably going 75 when we hit the bottom of the grade – pretty fast for being that close to each other – hoping we would have enough speed to get over the top of the grade. And we did, that little Plymouth pulled us right to the top and over the other side. As I think of it now that my Dad would do that, I don’t visualize him as being that adventurous, but you do what you have to do and I guess he was at heart. He trusted me and figured it was no big deal."

Great stuff, great Dad.
That would be the Conejo Grade, btw...driven it a million times. My girlfriend was from Camarillo
