I was there running the first day C/G 1959 Ford Galaxi, Ran and lost against Willy Gray . Willy was a regular at Hamam's Speed shop on Lockport Road
and a close friend of Jimmy Zakia and Red Walters...... Willy patched up a 1940 Willys Coupe and ran that a couple years later......... Prior to
that day we ran at Dunkirk and Cayuga ...... both were old plane runways. Niagara was a breath of fresh air and a shorter drive........ Back then
we ran what we drove in.......
