Thanks, Gregg! The slide show presents a very rare photographic chronicle of one of the sport's greatest debacles. I included it in an article I penned for Super Stock & Drag Illustrated magazine almost twenty years ago. It can be read at:

There are some dear friends in this slide show who have long since left us. I looked at these photos and thought of all of the whining and complaining that goes on here about how bad the pits are, not enough room to get the motorhome parked and heaven forbid that a super stock car have a "not factory hood scoop." Brett hope you are doing well. That is one super photo of the "Ramchargers" smokie burnout.

Great shots. Once I started the slide show, I was mesmerized until it was done.

There's a few 68 Super Stock Darts and Barracuda's in here, but can anyone make out the name on the door of the blue & white 68 Hemi Barracuda about mid way through the video clip.

I see most everyone was on the dirt,,,but Snake & Mongoose are pitted on grass,,, also see Marvin Schwartz in Garlits' car, so this must've been while "Big Daddy" was recovering from his accident at Lion's earlier that year. Thats deffinately a cool look back at how it was,,, no toterhomes and stacker trailers then.
