Them Sportsters are going to jump up and get you.

They tried too, at most tracks I raced at.

Irwindale Fan

Ivy,
Glad to see someone that loved the Irwindale Days make a posting. I was wondering when you would pop in. You fixed that old picture a lot better that I did, boy was I a handsome young clean cut guy, way before I knew anything about Drag Racing, that's probably why.
I visited your site on myspace, pretty neat, first time I seen anyone use that picture to link my site. Once I learn how to use myspace I'll probably flood it with my junk.
I really appreciate the email you sent me and the news cast things were great, I used the one on a posting. You should post that video so they can see that speed wobble of Sonny Raz.
After looking at your myspace I'm sure I'll see more postings from you even if it's just to give your opinion.

1968 Match Race

Frank,
Times, dates are a little confusing for the time of that match race. I think it was when I was building my first chassis and that race was when it was still a stock frame. It says low percentage, I can't remember what it was because when I first went to fuel I started with 10 percent and when I got tuned to that I went up to twenty percent, I did it ten percent at a time so I could learn how fuel worked. There was no charts then, I mixed with a two cup cooking measurer, you know one cup of this and nine cups of that, etc. It was somewhere around 1968, I think and I think I won all three rounds. I don't recall what the AHRA records were we had but I think one of us had the ET and the other had the speed record and I think it was a track record, just can't remember.
