When I was a kid we used to take the Bus #104 or #103 from Rosebank
to St. George and take another Bus to Wiessglass Stadium every Saturday
night for the races. My favorite stock car was #114 driven by a guy
named Jake. I made a model of that car. Some of my friends used to make
models of their favorite race cars and give them to the drivers.
I always wanted to race myself and I did where I lived now in
Clearwater, Florida.
The time I remember the most is when I was with one of my friends
who drove his own car to the race one Saturday night. We were coming
home and along side of us was one of the race cars that was driving home
on Richmond Ave. We raced for a couple of miles until the Staten Island
police came and got him and not us. His car was I think a 1949 Pontiac
painted as a firechief car.
