      @@tomeighty - before my back gave out I used to drive 100 miles south to all the great nostalgia events at Auto Club Famoso (Bakersfield, CA). I would go to a nostalgia event 100X over an NHRA event.

      Yup, that was my home track back in the 80's when I raced there. How did you like the BBQ Tri-tip sandwiches? :)@@danmyers9372

    I am only 24 and I'm a huge fan of these older gassers and steet freaks. We need to keep history like this alive, it's where all racers come from at heart. There would be no custom cars and racing today without these pioneers. Back in the day it wasn't who had the most Power or money, it was run what you brung, hold onto your butts and have some fun. May the best racer win. Thanks for the post. Brought a smile to my face.

    I really like the wheel standing van. He/or she does it old school. A lot of the newer ones pick the front end up with a drawbar. I would rather see it done with throttle control, that shows skill.
