"The Movie Screen" now that made waiting in the lanes more fun!

The Wilson Ford group was a lot of fun to hang with, not only the Ford group but that whole OCIR group at that time was pretty tight

After the original Irwindale closed in '77,we bracket racers took out operation to orange County. Wilson Ford Drag Club was a fixture there. I remember the Fairlane, and the Pogo Joe's Mustang, as well as several others.South Bay Racing association, Team OCIR and Team Irwindale(even though the track was gone) and othere rounded out a rather busy program.On a given good bracket race Saturday, 150 cars would show up for four brackets. It was a tight knit bunch of really nice people. These old photos should circulate more often!!
