    The Hurst Hairy Olds was out running a Tornado with twin blown old's in the front and back doing runs lighting up all four tires almost the whole strip.

    Grumpy Bill Jenkins ran super stock with Camero's and Vega's and Monza's

    There was a guy out of Mich called The Mich Mad Man that ran a SBC sideways in a bike.They would wheel him up to the staging lights and put the bike on rear wheel kick stand.Then remote start the engine like ones used on dragsters and he would rev it up and kick the bike off the stand laying down over the whole thing.

    Twin engined dragster called the Freight Train.

    The Hemi underglass and The Little Red Wagon doing battle as wheelstanders

    Jimmie Oddy ran a BB/gas Austin that won a Indy national.

    Big had a clutch blow up and cut the car in two.Not at the above match race.

    Connie was running a dragster and then a early funny car.Shirley was hanging out in real life,yepper"heart like a wheel".

    Dandy Dick Landy was running his dodge Hemi deal.
