This is excellent! ...am originally from Detroit and this type of auto racing was an exciting part of growing up in the '60's and '70's. ...thanks for posting this awesome footage...
You did it again, Mazi! A fine video! I see you got the staging ladies to take off those stupid high-heeled shoes and put on something sensible. You must have charmed the hell out of them. Good work!
it sucks I got fired out there, I worked in the concession stand, but this is ur best video yet. I knew this was going to be a great video when I seen you guys filming all day.
Brings back my youth. Dragsters had tge engine in front if the driver ( until Don Garlits had enough getting his foot amputated from an exploding clutch) those were the years...
The new owner has don much to upgrade as Mossie just did not want to he was to sick . Quaker is a half hr. from home and I race a supercharged 1992 Camaro or my 1968 cuda and have fun. That's what is fun watching all your friends do there thing , no matter what you race .Opening day will come trust me !
I just youtubed funny car races and I clicked on the first video that came up and it was filmed in salem ohio right where I am from... lol.. i saw the track and was thinking what the fuck?
Salem, Ohio. The Funny Car Nationals had been previously held at Marion County International Raceway. In 2014 the event was moved to Quaker City Motorsports Park, and in conjunction with the track's annual Nostalgia Classic event held on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. No word yet if the Funny Car Nationals will return to Quaker in 2015, or if the event will be moved to another track. There were 19 fcs in attendance this year.

Not to sound like a dick....because I'm actually asking, here.....but why are they so slow? When I see Nostalgia floppers running at Bakersfield they're doing bottom 6's and high 5's at 250. What's with all the A/Gas timeslips? Are they alcohol or gas cars or something?
entropy156 Yes, these are alky nostalgia funny cars. Because this is mainly an exhibition group of racers, the mid-range baseline e.t. range is 6.90s....give or take. :-)
