Tom Hoover? Is that the same Tom Hoover of the Show Time funny car? Damn, I guess I didn't realize he'd been around that long! Learn something everyday.
This was going on back when I was a young kid. My cousin lived out there and he would film on 8:mm camera. When we would go out to visit l would get to watch what he had filmed it was the same car’s you have here!
That doesn't look like Harrison Jacob's "Bo Weevil" at [2:44]. Actually belongs to Ray Godman. Harrison was the driver, Ray was confined to a wheelchair.
Dad started taking a friend & I to So Cal drag races, beginning in 64' (after much pleading). Irwindale, Lions, OCIR, OMS, Bakersfield, and yearly comp tickets to the Winternationals. Plus body surfing legendary beaches....not a bad childhood atall ✌😎. Tyvm for another great video (any chance of AA/FA's from early on?? 🤔)
I grew up in a small town in Wyoming my first live drag race was at Belle Fourche South Dakota. It was a small track and I raced my 70 AMX there when I was 18 years old in 1976. We had a dirt track 1/4 mile oval in Newcastle that my brother drove a 57 Ford Fairlane modified stock. I was only 10 and got to hang out at the track a lot.
Sorry for that few minutes of footage with the crappy sound. If there is any background music in the original footage UA-cam will nail me for copyright infringement, so I have to add some additional sounds to make it unrecognizable.
I had no choice there was music that was copyrighted at that point of the video that UA-cam wouldn't allow me to use. I put that crappy music over it to make it so I could post this video. It is only a little over a minute of music.
Fantastic! Right out of my era. I was at some of those events and raced at Indy in 74 and 75!

Got to love those old rail dragsters smoking their tires halfway down the track! 👍
I attended the drags back then!
Thank you for the upload.
I have never seen one car actually starting behind the other car with extra distance to run,and both leaving on the green 🤔
Very cool, really enjoyed!! 👍👍👍

The future - EV class, silent, no one there or cares. Seriously, what fun it would’ve been to go to those race days.

Great video footage ruined by stupid music
