Great videos! Super nice to add the current technology and airplay it on the flat screen tv.

What I want to know is when you will post the “Bill Sprague” interview?

Jim, has clutch technology increased dramatically since these videos?

I was surprised how poorly most all the stick cars (S &SS) left the starting line. Most seemed to blow tires off with virtually zero wheel stands.

And frankly, most of the stockers were the same way.

Awesome job, Don. Thanks! This is sure something to watch during the cold off-season.

Side note: With the close up vids of Kopps' B/SR, looks like you, like myself, are a fan of the old street roadsters! They've always been one of my favorite race cars. Sadly, this one met an untimely crash.

There certainly were good clutches out there, but I would say that many were still running heavier clutches with more pressure then they do now. We ran SSBS with an old Long style pressure plate and a rag disk. If we ran the clutch we run in our stocker now in our old SSBS Camaro, I am sure we would have picked up quite a bit.

Happy Holidays all,
I just added 3 more chunks from the video vault, with some kickin cars of the late 1990s. The 1997 St Louis National Open, the 1997 Topeka Div 5 race, the Indy Div 3 opener, and the Union Grove Div 3 race. I am driving my own SS/L car for the first full year, except for the St Louis Open, where the red Chevy II, is wheeled by ace driver JD. Most are filmed after making a run, and then grabbing the camera to record others. Some of the films are by my great helper / crewman Dave. There are also some runs of class eliminations at the US Nationals in 1997. If you aren't capturing any racing for yourself, its a mistake! I only wish I had an HD camera then.

Also my sorrow to the families of these guys appearing, that have left us: Jeff Stealy, Gary Tompa, and several more. Do mention names if you see someone who has passed.
