Does anyone remember what the "D-A" on the timing tower stood for? Motor oil? automotive chemicals? I was lucky enough to attend the opening day at IRP '61, then '62, '63 Nats before entering the the Air Force the week later. Camping out amongst the racers was the greatest.

Love the Ramchargers 1962 MW Dodge at 2:27 and Dick Boynton's MW D100 Sweptline right after it. Cool footage! Thanks for sharing!

That is Hugh Tucker's fabulous Street Roadster at 3:25. One of the finest exaples of Hot Rod craftsmanship you'll find anywhere. I loved it when he raced Pete Shadinger's Buick.

The 60's were the time when drag racing was the coolest with the Gassers Altered's and muscle cars
