GLEN, It's been a long time and I do remember watching Bob running many times. I just don't remember what make of car he raced at 30 with. It was a lot of fun being there back then. Hope you enjoy the films not many people had 8mm with sound. I was just young at the time and was into cars and taking pictures and saw this camera and the rest is history. Steve

Think about how much revenue they lost shutting down that dragway in the 80s how drag racing is now all over it's to loud by home owners sorry the track was there 1st ppl knew it the tracks should have rights if was there 1st but I'm sure the city doesn't care about that & just takes fun things away from kids to do on weekends to stay out of trouble now it's basically a field even the track isn't hardly there

Well, kinda sorta but not really. When they started racing out there the neighborhood had no issue with it because it was a Sunday, the races ran through the afternoon and were pretty much wrapped up at a reasonable hour. Then it turned more toward a spectator sport so they started drawing drivers and cars from around the country as feature events. Now they had the usual locals and regulars racing as well as added races for the "pros" which started running longer and longer hours. Then they started adding more days, first Saturday races and then weekday races. And while they used to wrap things up on Sundays around 6-7 PM, now they were racing nearly half the week out there and until 9 or 10PM. Then the jet cars showed up, which shook houses 10 miles away and due to their nature and the frequent delays during the course of a race day wouldn't fire up until 10 or 11 PM. And that was too much. Things were getting dicey as it was and getting shook out of bed at 10PM on a worknight was the breaking point. And as everything else in this country, every action begets an opposite overreaction. Instead of coming together on a rational compromise they decided to shut them down entirely. And THAT is the shame.
