I made my first pass down that strip in the summer of 75, I had just bought my own cuda and spent the week before putting on a set of headers or a Edelbrock LD340 with a 3310 780 carb. I was thrilled that it ran a 13.80. I was instantly hooked. Later I got a job at service center in Torrance and spent every weekend i could at OCIR and Irwindale. On the weekends I could not make it ddown there I was cruising Redondo/Hermosa or up on Manchester Blvd, in Inglewood. WE would race down Pershing drive behind LAX. Now those were the good old days.

I still go by Lions and see the old strip, maybe if I can win a big lotto I can buy the land and start racing again
