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

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.

Nice video! But the sound of horsepower is the only music I want to hear,why people have drown out the cars is my #1 pet peeve.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

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.Roger

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
