After September 2026, I will no longer be hosting our entire website. This includes military news, the Silver Spur sites, nor our racing pages. After 27-years it will be time to close it all down. Be well. – Roger

An excellent video by Diamond P that even featured some Sportsman racing. Too bad the video ended in the semi-finals of Funny Car.
Some differences I wanted to point out to our young viewers:
1) There were no reader boards back then, you had to listen to the track announcer for the et’s and mph. We were lucky to have a win light on the top end of the track.
2) Dry hops prior to the starting line were common back then.
3) Notice the long MPH speed trap which extended past the finish line. Those that kept their cars under power to the last MPH light were said to have “driven out the back door.” Today, the last MPH clock is at the finish line.
My thanks to Bob Warnke for bringing this video to our attention!
