What area were you from? I grew up in West Covina, spent time at Irwindale, OCIR and Whittier Blvd.

I grew up/lived in Temple City at the time. I sold the Runner in fall of '76. My other automotive excitement at the time was a red '62 impala SS with a 409, dual AFB's and all. With a 4 speed, 4:88's and some 10 inch slicks, it ran low 13's at around 106-107. It had spoked American mags, and was the most brutal car I ever drove. The torque waas so immense that most of my buddies couldn't believe what a full throttle power shifting run felt like in something like that. Here, 35 years later, I still do this stuff. Currenty, it's a red 68 Chevelle, either a K/SA 2 door hardtop, or an O/SA 4 door wagon.It's all still fun.Doesn't matter if its Winternationals, test and tune, or the Summit Racing Series.
