This week is my own small tribute to the greatest weekly drag strip to grace our sport, the unequalled Lions Drag Strip. Each night (hopefully) I will highlight an event or an ad from the track at random.
Tonight comes from the year 1966, advertising a show in early August.
The Headline: "The Smoke Never Sets On The Giant Of The West."
"Why Not Enjoy Another Night Of Torrid Racing Under Those Lions Lights."
"Lions Drag Strip-The Air-Conditioned Drag Strip."
Feature: Richard Schroeder's Bad Bossa Nova vs. Wetton & O' Connor's Studio Dodge.
