THIS IS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE MOST COMPLETE RACE COVERAGE OF ANY EVENT HELD PRIOR TO THE ADVENT OF TV AND VIDEO PRODUCTIONS. THIS TWO-HOUR VIDEO TAKES A LOOK BACK AT THE HISTORY OF YORK US 30 DRAGWAY AND THE SUPER STOCK NATIONALS.
THE VIDEO BEGINS WITH A LOOK AT 1950'S STYLE RACING AT YORK AND THEN MOVES TO THE MOST SUCCESSFUL INDEPENDENT ONE DAY DRAG RACE OF ALL TIME, THE 1965 SUPER STOCK NATIONALS.

WALLY BELL DROVE THE SOX & MARTIN 64 A/FX COMET AT THE RACE AND HE RECALLS THE EXPERIENCE IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW.
A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE 66, 67 AND 68 SUPER STOCK NATIONALS IS ALSO INCLUDED. IN 1969 BRUCE USA 1" LARSON WAS THE BIG WINNER OF THE SUPER STOCK NATIONALS AND YOULL MEET HIM IN AN UP-CLOSE AND PERSONAL INTERVIEW. THE FORMER FUNNY CAR WORLD CHAMPION RECOUNTS HIS FINAL ROUND RUN WITH THE LATE DICKIE HARRELL WHILE YOU WATCH THE LIVE ACTION. YOU HAVE TO SEE SOME OF THE TOYS BRUCE HAS IN HIS GARAGE.
AND THAT BRINGS US UP TO THE 1970 S/S NATS. YOULL SEE SUPER STOCKERS, PRO STOCKERS AND FUNNY CARS. SATURDAYS COVERAGE INCLUDES THE QUALIFYING ROUND IN FUNNY CAR AND THE FIRST ROUND OF PRO STOCK. SUNDAYS COVERAGE INCLUDES ROUND BY ROUND ACTION IN FUNNY CAR AND PRO STOCK. THE VIDEO CONCLUDES WITH THE FINAL ROUND IN ALL THREE OF THE ELIMINATOR CATEGORIES.

EXTENSIVE RESEARCH WENT INTO THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO AND YOU WILL BE GUIDED BY FULL NARRATION EXPLAINING WINNERS, LOOSERS, ETS AND MANY TIDBITS OF INFORMATION. DID YOU EVER WONDER WHERE THE DANDY IN DICK LANDYS NAME CAME FROM OR WHY YOU ALWAYS SAW HIM WITH A CIGAR? DICK TELLS US THE ANSWERS DURING A SHORT INTERVIEW WITH THE FORMER MOPAR GREAT. ANOTHER EXCLUSIVE IN THIS VIDEO IS THE USE OF 3 DIFFERENT CAMERAS INCLUDING A TOP END CAMERA SHOWING US THE WINNERS AND LOOSERS AT THE FINISH LINE. I HONESTLY FEEL THIS IS THE BEST NOSTALGIA VIDEO OF ALL TIME. I'M SURE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
This video is fully narrated with a story line that runs on top of the video action.
