Wow! so good.

 

Thanks, I will take a look at that this afternoon when I have more time.
I joined the NHRA in 1935 when I got my drivers license. That year a group of us formed the old Shreveport timing Association - STA and began hosting drag races at the old Mansfield airport. Those were some great years.

Ol-nobull....Did you make an error on the date your joined NHRA????as in 1935,there was no such organization.

That's more like it Jimmie,,,your forgiven,as we all get older by the day

 

You look good for 108.

 

I had not seen this before. If you like drag racing, you'll like seeing its history.

 

Nice Video Mr Jive-Bomber,,,,,sorry I cant say the same for the quality of the sound...it sucks

 

I tried to warn you!
"and yes, there is some cheesy music and the production quality is mediocre, but it’s definitely worth a look."

 

Pretty awesome, thank you for sharing.

 

Worth watching just to see the man that was like an uncle to me. Akton Olsen Miller. Thank you for posting this video!

 

bought my first membership from Wally Parks at our Grand Island, Ne. drag strip when the NHRA Safari was there teaching us how to use the timing system. Yeppers, 50 cents for the membership, what great memories. This film is amazing, thanx bro

 

Terrific film (previously mentioned faults notwithstanding).

 

Liked the video just the same,,,and some old friends from those days...Dale And Glenanna Hamm..

 

Ya, that was well worth watching. I love that stuff. Anything that gives me a better perspective of how it really was. Thanks Jay.
