This is my other car, I know its not nostalgia but I just though I would throw this in as it is as much a part of my racing life as my front motor car.The first 2min40sec was at Brotherhood, T.I.,The last was at Pomona plus it was one of the few times I ran at Pomona Winter Nationals.

Someone once ask me did Lions ever run 4 cars at a time and I seem to remember that I ran with 3 other cars when I ran B/S and I think I found the prof look at the lanes in this pic and you can see were there is 4 car lanes there but then again I could be wrong I only ran a stock class for one year and move on to alterd then Dragsters.

This is a good video for all you guys running Roadsters, This guy is the 2007 version of John Milner in American Greffiti
Check out that he is not running a safety harness , no fire suit, and a motorcycle helmet running a blown motor. Hummm that takes gonads..

Defiantly old School I like it ,if he's got the Ball's to run it,
then I'll watch him run.
Well I guess when you get out of Calf the rest of the world really don't care what nhra rule book say's. there are 4 tracks in missouri 1 nhra and 3 outlaw tracks that pay better than the nhra track.

Nostalgia looks great with the 3 point cage but the 5 or 6 point is much safer.
