Man I went there for the super stock Nats back in the 70s I will never forget Shooting pool at the Thomasville Inn with some of the Racers partying with Jungle Jim and helping Big Daddy push his Swamp Rat in the trailer at the end of the day . who drove the Smothers Bros. Super Stock Oldsmobiles back then ?

I worked at York US30 from 70-77!! It was the Playboy Mansion of Drag Race lovers!! LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

[houndz11]

I worked at this track from 70-77! IT WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! It was the Playboy Mansion for Drag Race lovers!

[WastedCar]

It's too great! Where are those cars now???

[sensinyou]

wanna see something cool, go to the virtual earth satellite image of the airport, you can see the starting line rubber just below the "35" marker on the runway....thats awesome. they should open the place occasionally, the airport has never made much money and cecil county gets 300! cars easily on test and tune night...

[sensinyou]

i went to us30 in the 70s as a kid, it closed the year i got my license. didnt open for the 79 season if iremember- good to see this, but i drive by the track weekly, and its too close to the highway, always was...google "york airport", is been lengthened some, but its still same really, up until the 90s u could still see the rubber at the starting line.

[ILoveLauriePartridge]

Got my license in 69, grew up going to Cecil Co. Dragway and York! The absolute best! Great memories watching Jenkins, Sox, Jungle Jim and Pam! Thanks for posting! Visit York US 30 reunion every July and go back in time!

THIS is drag racing not the cookie cutter crap like today.

[omcx1]

No doubt. Factory-based cars WITH A CLUTCH.

[bsatom]

So that is Grumpy Bill Jenkins in the high revving 331 small block Vega, who beat all the Hemi's and took the 72 Winternationals? Great historic footage here.

[ILoveLauriePartridge]

When Jenkins came out with that small block Vega just about every kid at the local drive thru was "building" a small block Vega! When Mopar started to complain about the little car,Jenkins replied "That's why they call them CHRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSLERS!!!!"

It is like having my old drag racing magazines come to life! Somewhere through the years that magical aura of a big drag meet disappeared. Thanks for bringing back memories of 'the day' in technicolor.
