[Old Dog]

After reading the blog for years I'm finally getting around to introducing myself. My name is Wayne Loomer (Old Dog on the forum) and I currently am retired living in Bradenton, Fl. Don't have any projects going, my last project was a 67 chevelle that I threw a 383 in that I assembled myself. It ran 13.3's at New England Dragway a bunch of times and I only had a vague idea where the timing was and had no traction for the first 100 feet. Now for the small world department. From the time I was born until I was 5 I lived at 585 Hancock St, Abington, Ma. This is less than a 1/4 mile from Brian's house. Then my parents moved to 396 Lincoln St which is the same side of the street as Brian's house and back then there was only 2 houses between them. One of my father's best friends built the house that Brian lives in and I was friends with his son. I was a very different neighborhood back then judgeing by the videos and pics of the house now. I moved to Plympton till I graduated and then it was the Navy, Vt, CA, N.H. over 25 yrs, MA and now Fl.

[Herbie]

Hi everybody,my name is Herbie Zampin,i'm from Baltimore Md. I have been going to the Drag Strip since I was 8. In 1970 my uncle took me the Capitol Raceway to watch some of the cars he did motors for.They had Funny Cars that day.Thats where i meet the love of my life,Jungle Pam.While there back then the Funny Cars would do a burnout,then back up and do a dry hop.Well I was in the staging lanes when Leroy Goldstien,driving "The Ramchargers" Cuda was racing Don Schumacher in the "Stardust".After the burnouts were complete Don went to do the dry hop and all hell broke loose. Dons' car was still in reverse when he did his dry hop backing up over a fence behind which was a set of bleachers full of spectators.I was standing beside the fence post,next to the staging lanes, when the car hit the fence the body exploded,a piece of the fiberglass body went in my head,knocking me across the staging lanes and I flew into a S/S car.I wound up ripping his scoop off his car.Two years ago while @ Maple Grove I was able to talk to Don himself,I told him of my experience,he just looked to the ground shaking his head telling me how sorry he was.He took full responsibility, telling me he just never took the car out of reverse.That said a lot about the man, he could have blamed it on something mechanical or something,but he took responsibility.I was very impressed with that. He then took me to his trailer,introduced me the the whole US Army Team,Gave me a autographed US Army Team shirt & Hat. That was my introduction to Drag Racing.
