High School was a lesson in torment and torture for me. I had NOTHING in common with anyone, I could speak English with a pronounced accent but by and large unable to read it. I desperately wanted to just study art but father forbid it, so I excelled in all areas of auto design. Frames, bodies and engines, were my only creative outlet. We broke the High Altitude Drag Race speed record in 1972 and it would be decades before someone could beat it. Our Baja Buggies were a hoot, never finished a race but they were a challenge I would love to pick back up! And the street rods? :) Well, it took a Lamborghini to finally destroy us in the 5 mile bandit races. My personal car by then was an Alfa Romeo Diana with a custom spyder body and a joy to drive! It still is running races down in the Oakland vintage car rallies I am told. Yeah, I was a motor head.
