COOL ! I grew up not too far from Irwindale and Lions , the last of which closed when I was 2 years old :-(
I LOVE your choice of tunes for this video ! The "Amboy Dukes" , which was Ted Nugent's band from the 60's ( Amboy , Michigan ).
How about some MC5 for the next video !

I raced there from 1991-1993 & was sponsored by Supershops in Brookpark,Oh. til they closed up shop. I had a 61 Biscayne with a 427 chevy & powergide back then. The summer of 06' I took my 81 Malibu with a 327 2x4's & 4 spd there & had alot of fun. Even tho I laid rubber 300ft from the start. I'm now getting ready to drop in a 468 chevy & th400 & re-live some of my past & for fun. Drive it like ya stole it & keep the shiny side up peoplz!

Great stuff. This is back when drag cars looked like the cars they were built from. I miss this era.
