A lightly-wrecked Austin Healey 3000 followed my dad home one day around 1968-1969. My dad fixed it and it was our 'family car'. My sister and I rode in the rear jump seats. I was 4-5 at the time. I sort of became a "sports car" kid at that point.
Then we moved to Speedway, Indiana in 1973 and I became completely immersed in racing and cars in general. We lived about a mile from the track and I knew drivers of the day, went to school with kids who's dads raced (Bill Vukovic). We lived in an apartment briefly when we first moved there and Gordon Johncock was staying in the apartment next to ours for the month of May. He used to stand out in the parking lot and talk cars with my dad. Different world back then.
