Was just going through some of the nhra pics of the week and saw this reall cool pic , NHRA.com Photo of the Week presented by Auto Imagery . Probably more fuel funny cars in that one pic then there are today . I was watching funny car summer last night and it got me thinking If there were the same amount of match race dates today then there were back then , then there would probably be alot more cars running today.

That was Orange County around 1977! I wish I could've attended just one race there!

That was "THE COUNTY"! Some of the best "SHOWS" in drag racing.

It just fits! Of all the So Cal Tracks I grew up at, OCIR is the one I miss the most!

I think you are close on the date. In the photo you can see that the finish line win lights were the two "Perfect Circle" neon compasses. In the earlier years they were two "Mr. T's" that lit up like a Las Vegas casino sign. No, they weren't finish line score boards. The score board (when it worked) was on the spectator side of the track adjacent to the bleach box back of the starting line.

When you have the picture page up, look in the address bar, and if you change the "html" to "jpg" and hit enter, the picture will stay there, but allow you to right click on it.

Of Course call me old fashioned, but you can always get a hold of Auto Imagery and ask to use it.... It's not like Dave Kommell doesn't hang around here from time to time...And It's ok, he's a Red Sox Fan, so he's cool!

That's just perfect. Why on earth anyone would share info like this on a public board is beyond me. Now Kommel will have to place a huge logo through every picture he contributes to the NHRA site to stop certain people from reproducing his images.

WHOA NELLY!

For what it's worth, it is a low resolution image that isn't much good for anything apart from looking at on your PC. Any printed version would be pixelated and "blocky". It is a way cool image BTW.

Saving any photo on the web is as easy as hitting "PRINT SCREEN" button and pasting the screen shot into an image editing program.

What I posted is not top secret, inside info or anything that is "trick".

I think that anyone who would contemplate doing anything illegal with the images would already know how to do what I posted, and then some.
