Friday CarPorn, I was there...

In more than a few past Friday CarPorn posts I have mentioned Orange County Intl Raceway, or I should say the ole OCIR in Irvine! I pretty much grew up in the pits of that place, running round the cars and breathin the good ole nitro! Had an uncle who was the chief builder for Dougs Headers and it allowed me total access to everything, kinda mechanical royalty if you will. I was scrolling thru pics looking for this weeks CarPorn and my jaw hit the desk top when i stumbled onto this one! Believe it or not I can actually remember this night, two of my favs blasting thru the summer darkness under the lights of my youth... Both these ride were on my wall in my room and I used to think Don Prudhomme was some kind of god, or at least a jr. god! So many awesome memories in this one pic alone, the tower, the ARMY funny car, and who remembers the SuperShops?!!!! What a great find and a great night! As you enjoy your Friday, Christmas eve style, know all that Mike theCarGuy wishes everyone the Merriest of Christmas and all the very best in the New Year! :)
