EEEEE-HHHAAAA! Got excited just watching without sound! Some great action there! Wish it had showed elapsed times, and you had to figure who won by whether you saw the car come back for another round. That C-2 hauled azz!

That strip still there? Used to have friends in Dallas GA a few years back and the guy never mentioned it - probably a victim of expanding civilization?

Thanks for the link!

I love the way the cars "dance" when their clutches are dumped and when their manual transmissions are power shifted.

Cool but with no sound, there goes half the fun. Thanks though.

Thanks ! Great job on the conversion to digital from the original format. The clarity is great. I also like that no music was dubbed over the top.

I can't take any credit for that video. An old friend from my jaw-ja home town sent me the link to it.

Here are pictures from the one and only time I ever ran there, back in 1975:
