The old gear jamming days. You could always smell clutch dust in the air in those days.

I was at this race with my good friend Steve. I remember it well. We camped the weekend and caught qualifing and the race on Sunday. I have lots of pictures. We lost Steve to cancer in January of 2010. Brings back great memories. Where has all of the time gone?

What a joy to see all those old cars from my mid-teenage years. We'd see most of them in Phoenix at Beeline in the winter. Thank you for posting. Joel in Tucson

I was a soph in h.s. in '71. Tucson, Az. was home (is) and was an AHRA track. Two hours up the road near Phnx. Beeline Dragway had the Winternationals. I was there in '71. At 2:13, the Mr. Bardahl Camaro.....God, he ruled his class. What was his name?

[naderchaser]

@G1Pops It sure looks like a Maverick to me too, G1Pops. What would you call it?

[G1Pops]

@naderchaser Your right I enlarged it and it was a two door Maverick , When I saw them at the Track they were using a four door.
