I raced almost every weekend at 41 in Indiana when I was 16-18 yrs old. 30 years ago! Wouldn't trade those days for anything

I was just 16 and one of my first jobs was a Bleach Boy and Runner at US 41 Drags Strip in Merrillville IN. I use to go home smelling like burnt rubber and burnt nitro fuel in my nose. My Favorite Racer was the Little Fiat with the 454 called "NO BIG THING".

That Pontiac at 8:26 fooled me. It sounded like it was running badly, and he didn't rev it up much before blasting past the lights and screaming down the strip.

So the fact my dad & his buddies built a BB/GD from the ground up, w/a cast iron 392 Hemi, and ran in the low 7's in a 1/4mi (over 220 Win Trophies). Isn't sad again why exactly? I rode in the push car as a kid, and they beat Shirley a number of times before she went to Nitro. My dad has a posterboard for a match race against her. I wish I had one of their chassis and expertise to run the Nostalgia series. Except for my dad, they're all gone now.😔

I really love those "57" Chevy's and would love to own one. I know it costs a lot to have a car and race it every weekend hoping to win. all the rest of the older models and Gassers, and everything pre "80's". awesome video posted here, ya gotta love those old school classics, like the ones Don Garlits would ride in. like the rail dragsters, and funny car competition to get in the money at the finish!! also I'm glad I live close to Great Lakes Dragaway.

I know that AA/TF and A/FX were the headliners for NHRA in the 1960's but the Gasser Classes were the "Heartbeat" of Drag Racing. Seems like, to me, that NHRA after the 1990's doesn't have that same "Soul" as the 1960's thru 1980's. Something's missing and so are the fans...Sad.

What's the deal with the empty grandstands? We used to race brackets at Lion's and get the stands full. Question: Was this 1/8th or 1/4? Looked really short to me.
