I was unable to attend due to not being conceived yet (age -7 in 1973). How many other members do we have here that are flat out too young to have participated in the first two decades of the V8 Club?

It was the first Grand National I attended. It was absolutely awesome to see so many restored and or original 1932 Fords. Also, Bill Seacrest's son "gave" me a $20 (probably $100. in 2021) and "asked" me to stop talking with friends about his father's 32 phaeton. He "asked" me to go get coffee. I was surprised, it was regarded as the best 32 there but it had several easy to spot issues. Needless to say we started to look at other cars and we enjoyed the coffee money.

I would have also been of "negative" age in 1973.
