Drag Racing Class
Tim: My 1st drag racing exposure was at the 1972 AHRA Summernationals at Dragway 42 in West Salem, OH.with my brothers in tow. From that moment on, I was hooked big time! What an experience! All the big names in drag racing were there: Cha Cha Muldowney in Funny Car, Jungle Jim & Jungle Pam in F/C, Grumpy Jenkins in the 331 c.i. Vega in P/S, Ronnie Sox in the Hemi Cuda in P/S, etc.; just to name a few. Many of my friends who hung out at Diney's Drive-In ran formula stock classes, also the old factory optional classes (slightly modified street/strip cars). My brother Joe races NHRA stock eliminator today and held the record in A/S from 2016 until 2018 when the record returned to the Index. How about posting some of the old photos of your car in action? Thanks, Don.
