Look at that freakin' H-U-G-E oil pan sump on that Mopar @ 0:54 !!!! And Ronnie Sox showing why pro Stock was REAL racing !!! And that "Charger" body on the 'Hawaiian' looks soooo bad to the bone !!!! Great vid !!!
How cool is this? Buster Couch of NHRA sending them down the track, Bernie Partridge (my all time fave announcer) calling the action. California was home to many A/GS coupes and Junior Fuelers later on... always a great show. Garlits didnt make the first rear engine dragster (I think Tony Nancy did) but he and Connie Swingle (rip) made it work. Drag racing forever!!!!
@nitrofumes I was there too, I was in the bleachers at the finish line and I had this little tape recorder with me so i could record the sounds of the fuel cars there, I was 15 years old, One of The coolest racing events I've ever experienced.
Dig the soundtrack music at the beginning of this clip

Bernie was the track announcer... Keith Jackson called it for ESPN. I believe ESPN picked Keith up from announcing drags before he made the big time.
