What a rush...

Irwindale Drag Strip, mid 70s, FC or TF show, Wheel Standers, ArmorAll Rocket car, the whole deal. One of the wheel standers, Richard Schroder's BossaNova, 70 vintage Nova, BBC in the back seat. Schroder had just sold the car this was the "new" owner's FIRST outing other than his licensing passes. Schroder is in the timing tower with the announcers giving the back story. Driver does his half track burnout and backs up into the lights to stage. Schroder gets on the PA "All of you photographers down there leaning over the guard rail, I suggest you back up a few steps and get ready to run. I built that car and I know what it is capable of." :rofl:
