In 65 while in Erie Pennsylvania I was deep in to mini bikes and Go Karts. My buddy had a beautiful Kart with twin West Bends and a live axle, direct drive. It would smoke the slicks when you dropped it off the jack. On one afternoon of mayhem in a Kmart parking lot I had the throttle of a two cycle mini bike stick open and I burned holes in a brand new pair of shoes trying to stop it! I wore those shoes for six months or more with cardboard stuck inside.
Thanks Mike!!! That front bumper looks like it must weigh 500#s!!!!
Huh?That was the last year I worked at the Chrysler parts depot in Newark De. Also last year I teched modified cars and staged races for eliminators at Cecil County Drag-O-way. That's me with my fingers in my ears! (probably one of the reasons I can't hear a thing these days.)

December of 65 I joined my uncle's flying club and became a pecker checker. As luck would have it I only worked in a hospital a short while before I met a Lt. Col. Moore. He was instrumental in getting me assigned to Air Evac. which ultimately put me in Germany at Rhein-Main Air Base! Crewing C-131 in Europe, switched to C-130 when I went Tack Air Evac. (Another reason I can't hear a thing!)
