I’m Don Carson. Born (1949) & raised in Poughkeepsie, I had a ’67 Dodge R/T that I ran at Dover several times. (ANYBODY HAVE ANY PICS? PLEASE) It was maroon with black vinyl top, ran stock class in ’68.
My dad and I had the Gulf gas station at Rt 44&55 for a couple of years (1969-71) before the arterial hyw was built. I had a ’69 Mach one red after that and ran that at Lebanon. Presently live in Janesville Wi and had not raced since 1970, This year I bought a ’71 Dodge Demon pro class car and am back racing (yeah at 59 yrs young) I may be getting old but I don’t have to grow up!.
I have such fond memories of Dover. My dad and I used to go on opening day driving from Poughkeepsie over Blueberry Hill through the scenic farmlands I can almost smell the drum brakes getting hot as we made our way there. My greatest memories are of Doc Burgess and the Black Arrow. That was my favorite car. I have the Jenkins 1/18 die cast that I would really want to convert it to Docs. My wife and I just finished our ’64 Dodge 330 2-dr post sedan max wedge clone. What a blast, we went to the Mopar nats with it this year. I have wanted to attend the Dover reunion for some time now but with all that I have done this money and vacation time got tight.
Below are a couple of pics of my current cars. I will be joining the Dover group and I have a few b&w negs I will get scanned and send in. I don’t have any pics of my R/T racing.
Great to be here!
Thanks! Don
