Well I am starting to get my old VHS tapes on DVD now, this one was the first test run on
a chassis I built in 1991, the test was at Carlsbad,CA about that time I can't remember the date for sure, so forgive the poor video, but the tape is 18 years old now and I am still learning how to convert all this crap on my computer..

This is my other car, I know its not nostalgia but I just though I would throw this in as it is as much a part of my racing life as my front motor car.The first 2min40sec was at Brotherhood, T.I.,The last was at Pomona plus it was one of the few times I ran at Pomona Winter Nationals.

[bud]

OK Guys I though you might be getting tired of the same old thing, This is my next Race Car..

[bud]

Check your Brakes.

[bud]

OK for those of us that have run at Lions Dragstrip [the Beach]

[bud]

I like this one too.

[bud]

this one is not bad.

Someone once ask me did Lions ever run 4 cars at a time and I seem to remember that I ran with 3 other cars when I ran B/S and I think I found the prof look at the lanes in this pic and you can see were there is 4 car lanes there but then again I could be wrong I only ran a stock class for one year and move on to alterd then Dragsters.

Lions did run 4-car races on a regular basis. At times the cars would be lined up on one side of the track at an angle and the drivers would be on the other side (Le Mans Start). When the stater flagged the start the drivers would have to run across the track to their cars, fire them, and take off. Sometimes the keys would be in different locations, ie, the ignition, on the seat, on the roof, once in a while under the cars. Exciting to say the least - watching four stockers under power swerving to straighten out without hitting each other. As I recall, a regular driver and frequent winner had a '58 Chevy two door that was the color similar to Don Ewald's '58 (medium blue shade). That driver was a good runner and therefore had an advantage.

ok thanks I though so. but for the most part I was in the back of the pits with the guys I race with . I drove for Bob Fletcher of US Speed and Sports Dragster and for Latham Flying A altered out of long Beach.

Thanks Bud

This is a good video for all you guys running Roadsters, This guy is the 2007 version of John Milner in American Greffiti .

Check out that he is not running a safety harness , no fire suit, and a motorcycle helmet running a blown motor. Hummm that takes gonads..

Defiantly old School I like it ,if he's got the Ball's to run it,
then I'll watch him run.
Well I guess when you get out of Calf the rest of the world really don't care what nhra rule book say's. there are 4 tracks in missouri 1 nhra and 3 outlaw tracks that pay better than the nhra track.
