Could'nt go by the swap meet without takin pics could ya.......noooooooooo. Gotta show all the damn intakes huh? Lucky**** dang leftcoasters. What,me jealous? Killer pics. Thanks

 

Mazooma, thanks for throwing a pic of my AWB Dart! The guys at Mickey Thompson were cool enough to have me bring it out front from where I was pitted way out back in the weeds, and leave it there for the afternoon. Way cool. I've never seen such an old track have so many people in the bleachers! Coming into the water box, and seeing a sea of people gave me a great idea of what it would have been like for Garlits, Ivo, and others back in the day. And some of the old videos, that show the shot of the track, down low from the start,and the slow curvature of it. Man, I gotta tell you, its******in to see it from in the seat of a car. Blows you away!!
