I will always remember the sounds and smells of the Alky pits in my pre-teen years before self energized CD ignition came standard on the Konig engines.................The smell of quick start, the tap, tap, tapping of someone setting points using a timing buzz box, the smell of the inside of a trailer, the tell tale smell of a Gentex..........Dumb as it sounds......I would wipe my finger in the stinger of a pipe just to get closer to that smell.
I remember after the season was over, not wanting to wash a jacket or 2 cause' it would still have a hint of alky/castor
................Then I discovered GIRLS!!
