Hate to say it, but Don does look a bit older in the 2nd pic!!!!!!!:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL: Geez, '67 wasn't that long ago, was it????:whacked:
Nitro costs less then than gas today
I would have loved to been there in "67", He beat my hero James Warren in the finals.
Track looks slippery today
Actually I believe he swore not to shave the beard until he went into the sixes.
He did it bigtime because he didn't put together a six second pass until the final... then it was the second quickest EVER... AND he won the event with it!
Jerry, Not the picture. I'm pretty sure I was on the other side opposite this shot. I may have that magazine around here somewhere! {:-)
Crampton, DeJoria & Shane Gray, top Winners at Indy.

Was a good show. Tom "Mongoose" McEwen and Don "Snake" Prudohme (spelling??) it was great to hear their stories!
And Bob Glidden too!
I agree! A lot more history included in the coverage this year. I think the race deserves to be treated this way. It is the "grand-daddy" of drag race events!
no channel switching for 6 hours------------
I took the day off to watch it! :-)
I threw the In-Laws out of the man cave! They wouldn't stop talking..
