You have to watch this video

I was there! Watching that was like meeting an old friend you have not seen in years. My Brother (David)started started racing a 1958 Chevy wagon in SS/3JA 2bbl class in 1981, and before the wife and kids I pretty much went to every race that he did. That 50 Olds rocket 88 was a favorite of mine, I think it fit in Z/SA I always enjoyed the wagons,oddball combos, and the slow "come catch me" cars. It sure was neat watching a "stick" in the finals of H/R, and it was a pleasure to NOT see a heads up car with electronics "coast" for 2 seconds. I used to watch the heads up classes back then, but not now. I had forgot about Johnny Mcquirt (sp?) having the nova in SS, I did remember his SS/FA corvette. After watching Ricky Smith give the camera man a ride, I remembered Mike Bowles giving (I think) Vern Gosden the country music singer a ride in the Good Ol Charlie Brown Wagon at Farmington Dragway in North Carolina. Thanks for making the evening a good one! Don Jackson
