  Crystal City and Festus Missouri twin city days I was there. Saw Jim Kirby run this car a few times at St Louis International Raceway when it was still an 1/8 mile strip. I blew up the 396 in my 69 Chevell and Jim Kirby rebuilt it. I don't know if these guys knew it but they were only about an 1/8 th mile from Jim's old shop. Brought back a lot of fond memories!

  Fabulous! Thank you, really enjoyed this. I'm involved in nostalgia drag racing here in the UK and its great to see these cars in the environment they were truly in. If I had a time machine, I'd definitely go and visit these events.

  I just found this now, how'd I miss this for four years? Very cool footage, the San Fernando stuff is the best i've ever seen. I even love the shots of the new Mustang and 68 Ford truck, the gliders and kitecycles on the dry lake.

  These cars would scare the crap out of anyone riding shotgun nowadays. Some of these cars are crazy fast, even at todays standards. some with nothing more than a lap belt. Respect.

  No doubt the best period ever for organized drag racing in the history of drag racing. The cars and the people were fascinating then. I find that drag racing has mostly been a borefest since the 1980's. What brought me back to drag racing is the nostalgic drag racing that is so popular today. At least nostalgia drag racing is trying to recapture the best period in drag racing. Thanks for sharing this amazing footage. Cheers.

  I agree with you... The top Fuel dragster and funny cars of today are not as exciting as they were in the past... There was not only amazingly beautiful cars the the drivers added a element of showmanship to the sport with thier nicknames and grudge match races... Today all the cars look the same and the drivers are always so politically correct except John Force he always adds some excitement to the sport.... But I will always always be a die hard drag racing fan.

  I am so glad I found this channel, it reminds me of how much fun and exciting drag racing once was. It is very sad to see what NHRA drag racing has become. That said the no-prep racing scene is at least for now reviving a lot of made drag racing such a universal spot

  The ' Sport of DRAG RACING was strictly Grassroots..where Everyday folks competed in All classifications. There were White, Black , Latino and even Polynesian...that's what made it fun. Then the Car companies, and Parts Manufacturers...made it BIGGER AND BADDER . THE CORPORATIONS MADE IT SO BIG that it phased out the Little Guy. Bring back Nostalgic Drag Racing.

  Dear Valerie, I remember your dad very well. We were just little kids but I remember your Dad taking me for rides when we all lived in Carlsbad NM. My Dad Don Dixon just loved your Dad! They both worked for US. Borax. My Dad was a mechanic there. I remember going for test rides in your Dad's cars way back when. Do you remember that 67 Chevy II he had glassed in with only the roadster roll bar? He asked me one time what I thought of it. Being a 5 yr old boy I told Your Dad, " It's so ugly" Your Dad just laughed. Take care Val! DDDave Dixon
