    Very nice picture of you car! Kids can interesting at car shows. In 1985 or '86 I entered my first '74 Maverick Grabber whitch was red with black stripes in Super Ford Street Machine National at Milan Dragway here in Michigan. This was a large car show and drag racing three day event. This kid about 12 years old walked up to me and my car, He was waring a Maverick T shirt, same one I had on! He said he loved Mavericks and wanted to look and sit in my car! His parents were there but not with him! I let him sit in the car and I thought he would never get out. He said some day he would own one. I took several pictures of him with the car and in the car. He gave me his address and I mailed the pictures to him. I wish I would have got doubles. I have never herd for him again and I don't remember his name but I wonder if he turned out to be a Maverick guy or if he is one of the guys here. I won 1st place and my car is in Super Ford Magazine on the drag strip with the winners!! It was one of the best car events I have ever attended.

    Yeah, I figured he sponsored the show and only invited himself and then had to hand himself the various awards after announcing it on a PA system.
