Dallas International Motor Speedway.....1970

Here are some old photos I found that were taken in the summer of 1970. A friend and I were typical 19 year old "gearheads", so, we took a road trip from Arkansas to Dallas when we heard the Coca Cola Cavalcade of Funny Cars was making a tour stop there. Got us a room at the Holiday Inn near the track. What luck! So did most of the racers! The parking lot was full of drag cars. Better than a pit pass. Below is a sample of the photos on the next page.

Here is a shot of my Chevelle in the background at the motel parking lot. We couldn't believe the number of drag cars that came in overnight! If any of you were there, or one of these was your car, please send me an email at djw@djwool.com. Comments are also welcome in my Guestbook!
