OH WOW! LOL! I forgot about the triangular finish line lights! I grew up there and used to sit on the hill and in the tower as my mom used to work there. My dad and his friends ran a BB/GD there til 73. Both my parents are stockholders, so am I. I remember those years quite fondly.

Yeah, blown nitro engines definitely have a deep tone like no other.

Check out the people moving QUICKLY as the camera is panning because of Al almost hitting the guardrail! When you've seen them come over, moving like that is an instinct! LOL.

Yes, Al drove Bill's (We know him as Billy) cars in the early 70s. He kept the Eastern Raider name and Billy started using Noreaster. I saw Al several months ago hauling his exhibition jet car and Bruce has an annual get together at his place in Pennsylvania so, all three parties are still around.

Looks like Al Hannah in The Eastern Raider vs. Bruce Larson in the USA-1 @ New England Dragway
