Congratulations to Andy Bosomworth for getting the racers' choice awarded at the PDRC Nite of Champions' dinner dance. So Bozzy, you're only a young lad, how did you come to like american cars?
 
"When i was twelve, I went with my parents to the States and we ended up in Virginia. We were driving down a road with some American friends when we noticed an orange '69 Dodge Charger car parked outside a garage. The garage had a sign above the door saying 'Cooters garage'. Turned out the guy who played Cooter in the TV show (Ben Jones) had opened a souvenir shop which had been made to look like a garage and on the day I was there Ben Jones was there. My parents recoignised him and the car but I was thinking 'who's this guy'? And why's that car orange? Anyway, he asked me if I wanted to sit in the car so he let me climb in the car which turned out to be one of the seventeen surviving second unit cars from the original show. I sat in the drivers seat, he fired it up the car and let me rev the engine."

"It's amazing how something that you see and hear as a kid sticks in your mind and as soon as he fired up that car I knew I wanted to have any American car someday and low and behold a few years later I bought a '69 Dodge Dart and then a '66 Coronet."
