View all 56 ReflectionsJanuary 2025, 35 years since I lost my brother and friend. I remember when we worked on all the Camaros we had in the garage. When we went to Atco raceway and ran our Camarox into the ground. Then came Oct 23. We lost you that day and we cried. Never again to do things that were going to remember.
Well all the camaros are gone except for your emerald green 68ss and my 68 rs/ss. Little Mikey has the 68ss and drives it a lot. He took me for a ride in it and it brought back so many memories. It felt just like the days of racing
