I love the dude who pushed his dragster because it stalled and the other guy red lighted.

Being from Philly,I clearly remember going over to Atco Raceway,N.J.The sounds,smells,the excitement of the people back in the early 70's,still during drag racing's heyday.

Personally.I find NASCAR boring.Going around and around....-And now they're doing dirty racing,bumping fellow racers in the rear off the track,possibly killing them.That quarter mile race is BY FAR,more exciting-

That was when dragsters were just getting into the sevens and two hundred miles per hour... IN THE QUARTER MILE!!!!!! The top dragster numbers are a baby race track now days... no way to compare with what happened when the Beatles were still touring. If you were not there part of the scene, then you have no idea what made it so incredibly special. 1320 feet is the History the sport is built on . 1000 feet is a yawn. Even watching brackets for an eighth mile interests me more than the ridiculous thousand foot dog and pony show.

This stuff is awesome I love the old school racing better than today's racing. Back then the driver worked on the car and drove it unlike today the driver don't do nothing but drive. And I love "Big Daddy" Don Garlits and "The Bounty Hunter" Connie Kalitta. This was when drag racing ruled.

So funny to watch them smoke the tires all the way down the strip. A stock Dodge Demon now runs in the 9's. With a manufacturer's warranty. Top Fuel goes in the 3's at 330 MPH.
