Yeah that has been posted here before...but that's ok.

It's actually the 1971 Supernationals at Ontario(OMS). The short movie is called The Age of Drag Racing. I have it on tape somewhere. Pretty cool piece.

Was there a pit spectator fatality at that race? I remember that a woman was killed in a pit accident with a race car around 71 at OMS.

That was the inaugural Supernationals (1970) at Ontario. The give away is Garlits in a front engine car.
