It would depend on when and what time. Many times, it was just me and the guyI'm racing. The big crowd would be in the Crenshaw area when Big Willy was running the street races. He'd bring out a Christmas tree for starting lights and I would guess 50-75 cars would be out there, both racing and spectating. Police would come and everyone would just take off. Unlike today, the police didn't take any action against the spectators. Today, I understand they can confiscate your vehicle just for watching!

The GoodGuys Association puts on nostalgia drag race meets and car shows. They allow only '72 and older cars. Drag racing is of the 60's and 70's, front engine dragsters, no nitrous, no electronic timing device, air shifters, etc. They conduct meets and car shows all over the country. Great association. I'd recommend attending their events when in your vicinity.
