I was here and I'm still going to NHRA, what an experience it was. We backed up my International Scout to the fence and partied all day and all night until it was over.
great to see my old vega funny car burnout & all. Never knew this video even existed. Jerry Ruth, Frank Hall & Gordie Bonin signed my lic. Thanks, Dave King, owner, driver Langley B.C. Canada
Great memories! I was at 64 funny cars in aug of `77. It was my first drag race. I was 11 years old. What i saw that day made me who i am now. Great to hear those same sounds again!
The Good Ole Day's of Drag Racing...Back when Independent racer could win a National event on any given Sunday... Giant Corporate Sponsorship's have pushed the low budget teams out.. today you buy a Win.. wheres the competition in that..
watched 2 guys on a Harley run this strip at night (no lights)but the officials had stacked a tire wall at the finish line, next day watched a guy get his car stuck in a big hole ,he got out opened a beer and cranked his stereo, later that night the bikers set fire to it , 1981 maybe ,the guys on the Harleys hit the tire wall and bounced but they didnt fall off XD
I worked for Mr Auto Supply 77 to 80 met Hank Johnson ,Gene Snow and Jerry Ruth. Great times
This would be the Brian Paulson that used to hang out with Ruth's nephew Joel & Curt Jennings I bet.

Brings back a lot of memories. Went to my first race there in 1974. Raced there hundreds of times in my Roadrunner!
I spent a lot of time here in my late teens. 64 Funny Cars!!
I just watched this whole video with a huge smile on my face. Fun times, fun times. I'm a 59 year old lady btw. :)
