Hi Jack, I see your bike made it up her too!
What a nice machine, push button start 1500cc.
Yes I was in Piedmont, NC with Mangus in 89. I took a 8mm video of that weekend, pretty funny!
Elmer was there, Larry McBride was running a GS Suzuki then. He blew his cylinders off of the case on race day. It was a religious county, we could not start an engine until noon on Sunday, final's day.
Jim and Phyllis McCLure came by to spectate, after the race Spiderman took Jims keys out of his mini van and hid them. When Jim caught on he chased McBride around for a 1/2 hour, funny stuff.
Hey Jack thanks for bringing up some memories
Elmer was running 4.30's Mangus was running 4.70's that weekend.
I have some old photos, I have to get a scanner one of these days.
Wow, all this time I thought Angie was Larry's daughter.
Take care.

How about that Jack, that's the video I took. I was over at Mangus's last week and he was trying to figure out how to get that video on line.
I copied the 8mm to VCR tape 23 yrs ago.
Anyone here reading clink on this link and go down the archives and check it out. Has the real sounds of Top Fuel! Talk about RARE! VIDEO!
How about the sound of Chris Hand's redneck express SOHC Honda 860cc fueler? almost sounds like a V8.
Sorry to get off on a tangent, but this is history and old skool racing.
Nothing like standing behind them, getting hit with hot rubber and smelling NITRO holding a borrowed big ass 8mm video camera.
And this is the dragbike page!
