"My interest in models started in 1963, my interest in contests started in '64, my interest in marriage started in '72, my interest in MassCar started in '89. That's about it for my life. My modeling interests included doorslammer-type drag racing cars, both new and old, muscle cars with an occasional trip to NASCAR."
