Hate to say it, but Don does look a bit older in the 2nd pic!!!!!!! Geez, '67 wasn't that long ago, was it????

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.

Mick

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..
