I went to one of the original old school (when old school was state-of-the-art)  AHRA championship drags at Famoso a long time ago.  I was 14 at the time and  it was a great show with Connie Kalita, Don Garlits and lots more.  I don't remember that Don Prudhomme was there.  It was before his funny car days and he drove a front engined "rail".  His record at one time was 243 wins against 7 losses.  Completely unbelievable.

One of my  memories is of a bunch of Hells Angels camped in a nearby field barbecuing a coyote over a bonfire.

I wonder if there is an award for oldest forum member?  Dunno if I'd win but I'm probably in the running!

The guys on my FE Ford forum have been buzzing about this for weeks!

I watched the " Hemi Under Glass " Barracuda burn rubber all the way through the traps at National Trails Raceway , Kirkersville, Ohio.

I think it was running against USA #1 .     Dolph     :)

I grew up in northern Florida and we would go to Gainsville for the drag races in the mid 70's.  You could sit in the car!

Oh the days of spindle-mounted Mag front-runners, big-blocks on alky, 4-speeds, and altered wheelbases...

Yeah...I too need a cig.  I *did* just ....um.... yeah.
