SIR 1976 Drag Racing

[@Klaatu2Too]

Thanks for the video. I worked at SIR from 1974 to 1984 and lived on the track, in the little house on the right side of the track next to the finish line, for most of those years. During those years I was the guy who sprayed the VHT on the track for the big races.

Thanks so much for sharing! I was there at this race and all the feature events through to 1979. the best party's I ever attended were inside those hallowed grounds. My gawd the stories of debauchery we have!! I had a chance to sit down with The Dones (Bill Doner) shortly before he passed and thanked him for giving us a piece of nitro heaven on earth!!

This is when a regular working class guy could afford to race and win, miss those days, thanks for the way back!

Man, I forgot how many trees use to be around the track. Definitely looked better, I think!

Thanks for the vid. But for the record, the Griffith Brothers Super Stock Camaro was a 1968.
