Addicted to Drag Racing

You see burnout marks in the pavement and try to determine how serious a car it was by the length and width of the stripes. Then you say, I coulda done better.






You've found your lawnmower runs pretty good on 108 octane gas [b] And the smell makes the job much more enjoyable!

i can admit to all of those....especially these two.......

You want to have kids just so you can run a Jr. Dragster (Jeff Morocco)


The requirements you give your real estate agent are (in order of importance):
1) 8 car climate controlled garage with an attached shop.
2) Outside parking for 6 cars, a motor home, a crew cab dually, a 28' enclosed trailer and a 34' 5th wheel.
3) 3 phase 220V outlets in the garage for your welder.
4) A grease pit.
5) Deaf neighbors.
6) Some sort of house with a working toilet & shower on the property - or - hookups for the motor home.


that is just awesome. hey Dennis, was Mike Coker at the reunion by any chance? there was a guy there that had Dominic sign a card for him and he also signed something for Dominic. he said he was the first to 220 mph in a dragster. i cant read his signature though. same guy ??

"was Mike Coker at the reunion by any chance?"

I doubt it Jeff, but I'll ask him. Mike ran an injected, nitro fueled SBC Front engine dragster in the day. Now his son Troy has taken over the driving duties in a similar car.

You forgot the plastic bushes, trees, and astroturf.

[jeff morocco]

this is the guy........

[ORIGLS6]

Nope, that's not Mike. Here's an old shot of him at our strip. (Mike on the right). This is from a newspaper feature they did just after our strip opened, dated Sept. 15, 1968.



And a shot of Troy in that car the same day.
