Great video !! I grew up near great lakes drag strip and saw all those cars run there. I was street racing for money back then with cars and bikes I built. A great time to grow up while I was a GM mechanic. Thanks for jogging memory. RIP BROADWAY BOB !!!
Cool seeing all of the different engines and configurations. Small blocks , big blocks , 426 hemis , early hemis , sohc , etc. And anything could win on any given day . Now everything is so refined and precise the fun is long gone in most of the pro classes .
That is so neat I love the old timers it brings back a lot of memories when I was in the Navy in Lemoore CA and we would drive down to Bakersfield for the drags. Keep it coming and thank you

I wonder what ever happened to all these cars. Sad to think they got abandoned and then crushed.
