Not new, but interesting for those of us who haven't seen it before. I didn't know he was responsible for the tree and timing points at the strips.

I won my first drag racing trophy at Mickey Thompsons Fontana Drag City in Fontana, CA in the spring of 1964 in my mothers 1964 Dodge 270 Dart four door sedan with one of the first 273 C.I. V8 in SO CA at that time.
That track was sanction by AHRA at that time and that car fit into K/SA Formula 3 , he still had the flag starter and 1/4 ET and MPH hand written on a piece of paper, boy were those the days boogie up


Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

Awesome video. Micky Thompsons accomplishments are nothing short of incredible. I met Danny Thompson at Bonneville and at PRI. He is very down to earth and approachable, willing to talk to a fan.
