WOW. A great video that that takes me back to memories of my youth.

 

That’s some real honest hot rodding happening right there!

My nephew Ken Strode shot that video in Sept. 2021. We certainly had a great time, and had plans of something bigger, but Jim Lindsay, Ken and I haven't figured out how to pull it off. I spoke with Chris Lytle, the other day about having a Dirt Drag at his place in Wenatchee, Wa.

We are thinking the middle of Sept. would be a good time, as it will be cooler. I will keep you all posted, if it materializes !
Here is the thread I posted about the Alvord back in 2021.

In 1976, in a jet-powered car Kitty O'Neil, set the land speed record for women on the Alvord averaging 512.710 mph. About about 5 years ago Jessi Combs was trying to beat that record when she crashed and died on the Alvord Desert...
