    Very cool though the flagman needed a red flag and he was too close to the starting line.

    There was a guy in So. Cal. in the 60's, Dean something or another, that used to whip up on Chevys, Fords, Dodges, and whatever else got in his way with a very wicked little VW. He ran mostly at OCIR if I remember correctly.

    Thanks abunch Dave. Brings back my days at Fremont Drag Strip as a spectator and friday nite grudge races and even earlier days at the old Samoa Air Strip across the bay from Eureka. And the music was a big plus.

    A-h-h-h-h - those were the days!! Compared to what TV shows you now, almost need a 3 minute egg timer for the speeds. But it WAS fun. Had to turn the sound off as the music track ............. too much vs the great 8 pipe music.

    Going through some old stuff this morning I ran across a little Polaroid "Swinger" film box that had sixteen little 2.5"x3" black & whites from KC International Raceway, must have been one time I was home on leave from the Navy, maybe '69 or '70? Stone, Woods & Cook's and the MALCO Gasser Mustangs going heads up; a black 427 Cobra, and several local gassers coming off the line hard. Terrible photos by today's standards - no telephoto, too far away, and the old Polaroid film, but the memories are still good.
