Were you around for the fire burnouts , they were awesome and the best story I have was from Jungle Jim who would work on his race car hauler in the pits between rounds while the Funny car would just sit there , well He had just got his new vega funny , replacing his Camaro Funny first run down the track at atco NJ drifts to the right into the grass never lifts , comes back puts it on the hauler the whole time mumbling These New Cars Suck
