tech, what say we make the trip. You take the timing trailer and I'll flag, be just like it was in '59.

Al, here's a link to a kind of "interview" I did for Streets at the other forum. It'll at least give you an idea of what a tech inspector is all about.....

LOL, SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY.....Brings back my youth living in Phoenix.....watching the Arizona racers Don's Hot Rod Shop Willys, Johnny Loper's Ole Hoss Willys and Lil Hoss Anglia, The Tucson Speed Sport Roadster (I can still hear the pipes exhaust today), The Sappington and Sanders Rudolph Chevrolet Chevy II, The Brown Brothers Willys, and what ever happened to the AHRA "little stock" two wheel drive Jeep that raced out of Brown and Hoye from Mesa, The Winemaker rear engine "direct drive" funny car........

The first drag races I went to were held at an abandoned WWII Luke Air Force Base landing strip which is most likely covered with new homes today. This was well before the current location of Speed World, which was originally called the Mel Larson's Phoenix Dragway. Something was lost forever when the flagman was retired by the Christmas Tree. And how about the days when they actually push started the dragsters backwards towards the starting line! AHRA and Beeline is another story.
