A member on moparts.com found and posted this. Thought it might be interesting and, if real, maybe someone can ID the track shown at the end. It has a hanging christmas tree.

Neat vidio, that is Lyons Dragstrip in Long Beach Ca, closed in the early 70's

I'm sure thats Lions and a young Dick Clark as the drag strip owner. An interesting note on the credits the story editor is Stephen Cannell who produced a quite a few hits show later on.

As a kid I watched that show every day, was a great program in its day but I never remember seeing that
episode what a cool video. This series was big on the West coast I wonder if it also aired on the East coast
and was as popular? Too cool.

Yep, aired coast to coast, even in NJ ! lol

I remember that show from back in the day.. that and emergency were my two favorite shows as a kid.

It was a great show watched it all the time back then.

Kind of funny the Christmas tree had two yellow lights. That was in the day of 5-light trees.

Did anyone count the VW's in the police parking lot?

Thanks much! I remember watching this on TV (as a mere lad) when it originally aired. It was my favorite episode! Now I get to watch it again after almost 4 decades.
