Larry;
That video brings back fond memories. A Crew Cab Dually w/Chaparral trailer was all we needed back then. I still say that was the FUN TIMES in drag racing. Doing it for the love, Today it's all Business.

I remember a Plymouth ad that featured Richard Petty's 1971 Road Runner stocker on the inclined ramp of a car hauler, with a line of tires above the toolbox in front of it.

Google "richard petty car hauler" for images, and you'll see an example of it on the first page. I imagine the old farts in NASCAR thing the same think for their sport.

Hopefully the HRR type races will continue to grow, I know when I can make one I have a great time, maybe get my hot rod back out there to, have no interest in the current big show NHRA classes, 1,000 ft tracks killed it for me
