Tim/Michael this is what I've tried to discuss here before. That is what people want to see. Look at the race tomorrow night at Z-Max. The Good Guys Street Rod Show is a Lowes Motor Speedway so Z-max has a race tommorow night and guess what? You can see old Pro Stock cars match racing, as some one said. "Hemi Fred" with and original Sox and Martin Duster up against an original Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins monza. There are other groups of cars running also. My guess? There will be a crowd here for this.

I just saw the post about Brett Kepner. If you got a chance to see "Inside Drag Racing" on Sunday you would see that this gentleman is an walking memory bank when it comes to drag racing. I have had the pleasure to talk with him at the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame. The shown on Sunday was from Henderson and the Hall of Fame event. Brett did several interviews and talked about several of the cars on display.

A couple of years ago someone posted a video of an 1/8th mile IHRA race in Steele, Ala, maybe?
Brian Olsen was the announcer and I think Myron was in it.
It was a perfect example of what a good announcer can do for S/SS.
Does anyone know of this video or how to access it?
