I absolutely cannot believe you remember the Florida City "push cars"! Amazing! Man, we thought we were some hot stuff with our home-made cars, and couldn't wait until Saturday night. Of course today we would be in 8 Cyl. kiddie trucks, but in 1973 we used orange crates, rope and junk wheels to make something.
Yes, the long-legged "locals" were tough to beat, but good fortune smiled on me. Remember, those were the days of school bussing, so as fate would have it, one of my friends from school was a guy who lived 100 yards from the track. Yes, he got bussed 20 miles each way to the white school, but he also hooked me up with some higher horse power motors in the push car races!
Do you have any pictures from Florida City?
