70's Drag Racing Video

GREAT VIDEO'S!! I like the part at the end of the 3rd video where they show Dick Landy slammin' through the gears, and the Ronny Sox stuff too. Looks like Gene Snow could drive like a mad man.

With the stogie in his mouth. :-D I like how quick he whip's it into the staging area. :burnout:

These videos serve as a reminder of how great professional drag racing was back in the '70s. It was truly the golden era of the sport. The videos also help illustrate how much the NHRA sucks today. Unfortunately, drag racing has become too much like NASCAR -- it's all about corporate money, product endorsements, sanitized racing, etc. It's a total snooze-fest.

I kind of feel sorry for car enthusiasts who are too young to remember the days of the Snake, the Mongoose, the Ace, and the other greats.

Man that is so true.

Cool vids. That truly was the golden era of drag racing.

No doubt Burnt. As I was watching the videos I could almost smell the action through the memories.:-D
