That most famous Hawaiian, Roland Leong, at 6:08 ! He and Prudhomme abnd a few others made the sport into what it is today.. Huge. Veteran starter Buster Couch can also be seen in this video, very historic.. these are the days of true grassroots drag racing.
DIAMONDP.....Thank you so much for posting these vids. I have been searching for this kind of footage for many years. A Lot of them I watched on T.V., I also remember NHRA had most, if not all of the 70's Major events for sale in an ad I found in a program I purchased from the Winternationals in pomona ca, circa mid 70's
