The only time I was there was for the "Woodstock" of drag racing in 1965 for the SS/DI funny car race (although they weren't called that yet) but every altered wheelbase car in the nation was there.

We climbed over the fence and stood beside the srtip and watched the cars go by at 140mph, they were close enough that you could reach out and touch them, guys were standing so close to the cars at the starting line that they were making bets on the starting RPM's of each car... they were so close they could read the tach's.

It was magical!
