Do you happen to remember racing a 64 Impala SS Convertible that was painted rusty red primer, do you? Would have been in 76-78. I think it was on Rt130 around Cinnaminson.

It does not ring a bell but that's where we live now and right off of 130 too now. Back then I was in PA. Bucks county. Did I win or lose?
