YORK US 30 BACK IN THE DAY 1960'S 

islang dragway is still in operation..

a 1967 road runner its 1 of 1

I know I'm replying to a comment that's 9 years old but you mention 8mm film from the 60's. I'm trying to locate some video of my uncles 1964 Comet campaigned as "The Hairy Canary" in the mid 60's. They ran B/MP at a lot of the east coast tracks. Anybody have some video?? He has a short appearance in the video "Atco 1960's Drag Racing - It's a Sport, Baby" that's on RU-vid.

@@danbeau9404 Merrillville IN as I recall, near Gary.

U.S. 30 ran right through York, Pa.

Thanks for the post David. You and your Dad have some bragging rights there. Bruce was and is one tough racer. Thanks for checking out our RU-vid channel.

@@amos6013 I'll check it out your video. My dad sold the Olds when I and my siblings came along and bought a family Merc sedan. This was the mid-1950s and Bruce was young then late teens, my Dad could never beat him, always said Bruce's car had a higher gear ration, better in the 1/4 mile. I spent a lot of time at York and Boiling Springs as a kid, my neighbor Buck Myers ran a C/MP '57 Chevy "Snoopy" and later a '57 Vette gasser, the short lived "Glass Casket". I remember a powder blue '55 Chevy, "the Blue Light Bandit" ran by a bunch black guys from Harrisburg. I grew up near Linglestown, Pa, home of "the Linglestown Leadfoot" Maynard Yingst, sprint car driver and Larson's crew chief. Chris Lang used to run his "Malco Super Vette" gasser out of Linglestown also. Good days, where are my earplugs.

Thank you for serving. My dad was there with you. He bought a brand new Duster when he got back and raced it till the wheels fell off Greetings from Ody Slim

Just wondering man I had a car it was a 67 fastback big block for speed mustang at least on the van v i n but I was told and I got it in 85 I never did see any of this in person but on the back it said ain't that a b**** by the left tail light and on the side tighter and tighter and I heard I'm almost sure it was on the front page of a local publication drags drag strip stuff and it was coming off the line doing a wheelie any recollection of anything like that I know a lot more history to but it is late thank you if you can give me anything it would be greatly appreciated I will try to send you a pic don't have too many more left I'll bet but I have had to of the bullet chases x 2 to 67th 268 and 267 s take that Steve McQueen and the five hubcaps I'm laughing anyway have a nice evening good night sleep

I remember when I could shift like that in the mid '60s. Over 50 years ago. Left leg just don't work like that any more.

Hey man I was born in 63 and 85 I bought a mustang 67 fastback it ran around going a few tracks it was a machine shops weekend drag car us 30 probably purple with snowflake on the lines ain't that a b**** on the back if you ever see it let me know I'll keep an eye out for you kind of neat thinking that all that used to happen I wished I was born a little earlier thank you
