First time I went there in '68 with my Jr Stocker, I floated the valves at the MPH lights. At that time, being from Div 4, I had never run in that kind of air. Didn't know it was down hill too. LOL I couldn't believe how fast it was. Had a local tell me "this track isn't fast". Really? I wondered where the hell he was used to running. If you ain't bad fast at Pomona, especially in early Feb, you just ain't fast.
