Thanks all. It was a good time, as it isn't every day you see a real L79 altered wheel base gasser Nova, a Mangusta, A 300F with the "tunnel cram" intakes, a 348 four speed Elky and a VW Hemi engine. Too bad the Fairlane from last year blew the trans two weeks ago and the Chrysler gasser guys FLAKED. Must have been scared to show up............... I wish I could invite the whole lounge.
Kudos and thanks to Augie for driving a Jackson mechanical injected straight axled, high geared, close ratio'd monster from Fullerton. BIG TIME. Thanks also to John Lazenby for lightin' the bias plies on that Fcar. The owner of the Mangusta could not be coaxed into doing the same. I think he was afraid to twist the Italian frame.
After the party, we went to Irwindale Speedway and caught the races.................skid plate racing and a demo derby. The derby, believe it or not, was almost won by a 1992 Honda Accord, and the skid plate racing was insane! There were about 40 cars in the race..............all front drive Pick a Part candidates, with the rear tires removed, the ebrake on and skid plates welded to the bottom of the rear wheels. The cars couldn't even line up to start because they all kept sliding down the banked track...........At one point in the chaotic race, an Eclipse spun out and the driver started driving it backwards..........and was keeping up with the race! The tach needle had to be bent over the 9k point, because he had to be doing at least 30MPH in reverse. Wish I had a video.

YES! That BRM hose reel shot is AWESOME, Sarge... thanks for sharing. I've always wanted to do that, even back in the '80s. Just to tick off people.
