    I don't know Steve.. but I've had the pleasure of talking to Don and publish his article and some photos online... Don & Roy are amazing! I'm stoked that they were happy to work with us... The photos Don sent me were great!

    Pure Hell with a Chevy has always been a favorite, but the rail, wheels up buried in smoke,who can argue with that!! You can almost hear 'em. Have a great one,Cat

    Great pictures and memories
    I remember going to Lions back in the early 70's. If you had a pit pass, you could stand 20 feet behind the funny cars and top fuelers as they took off. Try that today!
    The grandstands were close at the starting line, maybe 40-50 feet from one side to the other. What great meets they had there, my favorite was the Coca-Cola meet in 71 or 72.
