I made a Time Tunnel Trip to the long gone Vaca Valley drag strip
just over a year ago ...... climbed over a barb wire fence in the blazing
sun, walked out in a knee deep overgrown field, stood on the crumbling
bits of asphalt that was once the starting line ...... and stood there
envisioning two fuel Chizlers thundering off the line in a cloud of rubber
and nitro, seeking Top Eliminator glory in the waning rays of a California
sunset of forty years before ...... recalling the sound and fury of those
days on the many strips that I was at, on both coasts, and in between
........
Talk about a spiritual experience !!!!!
Those days forever branded in my mind ........
THE GOLDEN ERA OF DRAG AND OVAL RACING, BOTH !!!!!!!!
