3? What're we allowing a bunch o' little kids on here now?

When I was 3, 'Nam was still going hot and heavy. Bell Bottoms and Tie Dyes were more than a weekend Greatful Dead Show fan fashion. Nixon was bugging the White House. Gas and cigarettes were still dirt cheap. Video games didn't exist. 8-track tape players were the premium option in car stereos. Broadway Joe and the Jets were the team to watch. Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin both died (followed soon by Jim Morrison who's been playing dead for the past 30+ years for tax reasons). The only things the US imported from Japan in any decent number were a few toasters and the occassional Vietnamese wife for the returning GI. Olds really built rocket cars (442's, etc.). And the hottest custom car jobs involved paintings of vikings on the sides of vans (leaving room for the crescent moon bubble windows, of course) and blown big block MOPARS and Chevys with wide rear tires on Mag wheels extended several inches out from the fender walls.

You can set up a dragstrip in 2 ways - formal and informal.

FORMAL: Installation of starting tree linked to computers in a "control room", and possibly to top-end scoreboards and timeslip booth. This will be very costly on top of the expense of purchasing/building a straight 1-mile strip of ashphalt and areas for cars to line up and pit.

INFORMAL: Rental of an unused airport and have a flagman drop a flag to start the race (the way they used to do it back in the first part of the 1900's). Airports have plenty of parking and are supposedly to be 100% flat for the airplanes to take off and land properly.
