I'm so thankful for these videos. My daddy is Jake King and it does my heart good to see him, Ronnie and Buddy at their crafts.

In my teens saw Shirley Muldowney at DETROIT racetrack, a cooler and a blanket on the grass. Hot summer nights back then, no A/C, windows open, consisted of falling asleep trying to catch a breeze while listening to the drag races off in the distance.

I recall how excited I was. Just a true euphoric time.

Not only did I witness live the Prudhomme/Nicoll final on ABC's "Wide World of sports" at 7 yrs old, but lived about 30 min from Ontario Motor Speedway and attended the 1970 Supernationals. Had been to Lions, Irwindale, OCIR, then Ontario, and a few months later the NHRA Winternationals at the Pomona fairgrounds. Saw a lot of all 5 tracks over the years. Miss em' all!

Ah yes....the glory days of drag racing when it was fun....when trophy queens were nervous. The days of hand painted lettering and colorful names

I relive the 70s every Saturday morning as I drive my blown 57 to Hotrods in Horsetown

When drag racing was all about shifting gears faster than today's paddle shifters Those were real men driving at their own risk

Absolutely, the amount of electronics and assisted mechanisms has diluted the essence of drag racing.

Richard if you have access to Facebook there a variety of groups that discuss and share images of drag racing from the 1960's to the current day. It may take a little searching but you would be amazed of what you might find there.
