Very little to report with the drag strip being closed at Pacific Raceways for repaving to the 330-foot mark. And there have been few updates from PR. Drag racing is supposed to get underway in June again on the new surface. - Roger

    I really enjoyed watching the ’77 Springnationals video. Even the old ads were a hoot! And notice how they educated the novice fan back then regarding the index system and handicap starts! Don’t see that today.
