Hello, Did anyone in Cable land or Streaming land, see a presentation about the Lions Dragstrip Museum on the CARS TV channel? Where we are, our provider does not show CARS TV. Did anyone see the program? It was an interview with Rick Lorenzen about how the Lions Dragstrip Museum was created and what it does for hot rods and drag racing history. It was about 19 minutes long. Thank you, Jnaki If you did happen to record it, perhaps a copy would be available?

Hello, In a hurry to get the information out, the date is not Sunday Sept 21, but Sept 22 at 12:30 am on Cox Cable Channel 9 or 1099 HD. Sorry, Jnaki That is late tonight or early tomorrow morning just past midnight West Coast time or PST. For you midnight rebels, stay up and watch it. The title was changed to get the information correct for everyone. It is West Coast time schedule on COX CABLE.
Hey T, Yes, I recorded the program and it looks great on the big screen TV with sound in some parts of the program. Remember, the sounds were not recorded at Lions in the Spring and Summer of 1959. They were recorded on an LP album at the September, Detroit Nationals in 1959, with the same So Cal racers that traveled back there. I had the album and had it digitized. The same racers ran almost exactly as my films depicted at Lions. Junior Thompson, shifts at the same time and his 1941 Studebaker moves up and down with the shift pattern and acceleration. Here is a Jr. Thompson You Tube version as the regular TV PROGRAM ON CARS TV is too large and the producers have not made their You Tube version. Jr. Thompson 41 Studebaker with sound ...watch the shift points. The CARS TV program had some of my films interspersed throughout the whole 19 minute program. It was fun watching it on the big TV screen. The sound was raised when I knew my films were coming up next. It was like being there at Lions in 1959. My family was happy that it was able to be recorded for later playing at a normal viewing hour. 12:30 am is for night owls...most of us are asleep by 9:30 pm... Again, a huge THANK YOU for bringing the recording to my attention. I had a mad scramble yesterday afternoon. (as did the groups I contacted to record the program) Some of the Lions staff and production folks were unaware until I contacted them, so they could record the program. They thank you for your efforts. Check your regular email today... Junji Nakamura Jnaki on the HAMB
