I was always interested in cars, but seeing race cars really excited me and influenced my career.
I was lucky to live here and attend the local 1966 - 1973 Can Am Challenge races.
I have attached some photos of cars were very interesting to me.
Engineers were learning about aerodynamics and suspension and every car was different. Very exciting to me.
