    It was a 6 banger. Did they call it H/MP in the real early 70s? I know they did in the mid 70s.

    I was a bare-bones track. There was no electricity at most of the track. Any lights beyond the starting line got it's power from a generator at the base of the light pole. Fontana and Route 66 back in the 60's was nothing but a few wooden houses, large fields of grape vines, Hells Angels, wind, a Polka Hall, eucalyptus trees and more wind.
    I loved it out there...
    It's really depressing at the intersection of Foothill and Etiwanda today...
    The site of some crazy racing is now just convenience stores and eyesores.

    Thank Goodness Famoso is still pretty primitive...
