Here are some photos of old A/FX cars & early to late Pro Stockers with Jan & Dean and The Beach Boys doin’ some classic oldies.
NOTE: ‘Chevoom’ 1966 Chevelle sponsored by Gratiot Auto Supply in Detroit was one of the first A/FX or early ‘Funny Cars’ I ever saw run. Ran mostly at Detroit Dragway (Sibley # Dix roads).

   Fantastic!!!!! I didn’t see Gas Rhonda or Gapp & Roushes four door Maverick. Those are two of my alltime favorite cars. I did see Irwindale Raceway in one of the photos. I used to live about 3 miles from that track in Baldwin Park Calif. Every Sat. night the roar of the track was so loud I thought it was in my backyard!

   Well there are only about half the drag strips there used to be in the early days, so its harder and harder to see, I like jet drags myself. With the prices of fuel though its becoming harder and harder to justify even putting the gas down hard on the open interstate when no one is around.
