I went every year from 1962 to 1976. Then it became high tech and high dollar.

Tanks for posting. Memories.

Just watched that last week and loved it! The fuel ban era, lots of different engines, big Olds, Ponchos, Fords and the ubiquitous SB Chevys and Hemis. No sticky track prep or wrinkle slicks, real men and cool machines doing battle with less tools than many of us now have at our disposal in our home garages. A piece of history that will never be repeated...
