DINO ❗ I knew it 😀 thats not something you make up ❗ I wish I knew all you guys better back then , but I was just a little s#%t and really just looked all I could when I could ,it was really cool to be where all the cars that raced at Dover were right in front of me ❗ I met Randy down the street at a friend I knew who did body work I went to school with back then thats how I got in the back door of the “Automobile Shop” ….. I remember seeing Valentine, Davit , Willy and if you were ever at the counter I probably spoke to you too just didnt know all of you then ……..aaahhh the old days …………
