Everyone blessed enough to have gone to the track between 65 & 85 saw Drag Racing when it was still a sport anyone could get into . I remember when there were over 400 Funny Cars up and running , fire up lane , and most importantly 1320 was the standard . I would rather have seen restrictions put on the cars and kept it....1320
Me too!! It's always fun to see the images other have taken of the old gasser days. I was there but was just a kid so I didn't document. If I had only known then what I know now :o0
Man I love your videos! I started street racing in the 80's and love the gassers and alterds. Really love those anglia's. Do you have any footage from Fontana Drag city? I grew up very close to it
Wow!! Your dad raced against Ohio George Montgomery! I'm Glad you found my video. Yes that is the Winged Express with Wild Willie at the wheel! Thanks for watching!! John
What year US Nationals was this filmed at? Altereds are cool, blown Gassers rule! Great to see this rare footage of some long retired cars racing at the NHRA US Nationals in 196?. Regards from an Australian "Comp Eliminator" fan

Very nice, do you have any stills of Gabby Bleeker altered in '67?

The shots of wet ground might be 1969, there was no rain in 1968, I went every day.
Cool!! I saw my dad's Austin running at time marker 1:14 & was that the Winged Express at about 6:30 ?
