I was only 6 in 68 but my dad got out of the Army that year and worked on the Hawk missile radar. Then went to work for Raytheon on the radar.:rolleyes::sorry:
 
In 68 I was living at the bottom of a beer can, Back from Nam about 10 months - and just getting it back together. Started College in 69 after I sobered up.
 
Racing FWSA circuit. Never good enough for US Ski Team trials. 3 years later, stopped crashing and started teaching at Squaw Valley.
 
In 1968 I was 25 years old and thought I finally finished my T-Bucket when I got it licensed and was able to drive it on the street. Boy was I ever mistaken, 41 years, 3 engines, 3 transmissions and tons of other parts later and I'm still working on it.
 
I was 5 years old. :rock: in '68
