    I’m 67 and these cars are the era I grew up in. I had no idea there were this many people still competing with these cars. Awesome to see this happening. Unfortunately my local Drag Strip was sold to a logistics company and has been demolished.

    Thanks Tim, great coverage! Aahhh, those AA/FA are amazing, fast,wild and unpredictable back in the day. The Nostalgia Pro Stockers of the mid-late 70's thru the early 2k were when Pro stock was truly Pro Stock. Let's not leave out those awesome Gassers with the amazing variety of cars from the day! The memories run deep, Thank you once again brother for the great coverage and sharing it with us. Happy Father's day to sir!!!

The true 60's front engine dragsters and funny cars are awesome too! It was great seeing the Bob Gliddon Fairmont and Reher and Morrison Camaro too. I used to go to this event annually. I need to go back again. And what about that milk truck!
