Under the Lights
No captions needed, pretty much self-explanatory, that's if you been around drag racing
for the last 50 plus years. Me, my first drag race of year (2024) May 18th at Pacific Raceway.
I will have been going to the drags for 56 years (8 years old 1968)

and a bottle of cold brew
AA/FC From the East Coast, it's black funny car pilot Lee Jones in the seat
AA/FC The "Trojan Horse" with Larry Fullerton in the seat
AA/FC The "Shoe" in the seat and the chute out

And I think Jim Adolph is in the seat.
AA/FC For sure it's 1973 and for sure it's Jim Adolph in the seat, trying to turn himself into a crispy critter
AA/FD It's 1965 and relaxing by the pool
AA/FD No ID on this great smokey pass down the 1320
AA/FD Run to the fence kids. We got two of the best fuel diggers of the late 1960s heading for
traps at Beeline Dragway
