This era of drag racing will always be the most important era of the sport of organized drag racing. As far as I am concerned the cars and the people of that era really had the stuff. I find regular drag racing since the 1980's a real bore fest. I am so thankful that nostalgia drag racing exists to try and recreate the glory years of drag racing in the past. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

I wish this kind of spirit and dynamic existed on a larger scale today.

I ran my 1965 chevelle at national in 1979 and 1980……I was heartbroken when the track closed. I flat towed out there from Yonkers.

At 3;50 or so watch one of the Smothers brothers run that beautiful 442 to about a 13 second quarter mile time.Not a 10 something like the idiot said but impressive for the car and driver. Good old days.
