Drag racing!!

Oldschool got me thinking bout the old days at the Gateway Nationals.

Some of you must be my age...lol...I have super 8 movies of all of the cars you posted pictures of and albums of photos of those and more. We spent every weekend at the southern California tracks in the 70's and early 80's. At that time our grocery getter was a 71 Hemi Charger. Any of you remember Lions?
