This guy has to be the luckiest person I have ever seen, just amazing and I just could not believe it. Can you imagine getting it on video?

Here is an excellent early drag racing video I found on youtube. It is a slide show. Good music and great pictures!



These guys want to race really bad. This is just about the meekest drag strip I have seen. :shock:

This was one great save. You don't often see a long dragster do a 360º and get away with it.

GRATE VIDEOS John!!!!

First video Woooohhhh

On the 2nt video was fun to watch. What got my attention the most was that one seat, toy looking Corvette (?)

The 3nt video way cool!!! Are they still open? Nice concrete starting pad. Other then that, looked just like ours, when we started out. (only ours is 1/8 mile) It bring back good memory. Can't believe our little Wy drag strip, Hypoxia, is 7 years old now.

and the 4th one WOW WOW WOOOW bet she can't do that one again :lol:

Were on Face Book as well.................................

We start Memorial Week end and, then every 3d Saturday ofter that. Until Mother Nature chase us out.

We have come a long ways. we have VHT and drag old drag slick down the track now to prep the track. All ways looking for old drag slick to cut up and drag on the track now. I need to get a new picture up of all the improvement of the past couple years.

Gordon,
I went to the facebook page and watched a bunch of videos. Looks like some fun racing. I need to try really hard to get up there on the 20th of July. If I do I'll bring my camera.

I just love the way the Rep. Tammy Duckworth rips this guy to pieces. She lost both legs serving in the military and they had to reattach one of her arms. The guy she is ripping had a VA claim in for funding for his business as he had a sprained ankle in prep school playing football and says serving in the military aggravated it. She rips him a new one!
