I guess water temp wasn't such a big deal back then.

Do you think they put enough heat in the clutch?

Re: Awesome video...Jenkins/Landy match race '75
Back in the day that event was the talk of the town. An old abandoned airstrip on the outskirts of Vancouver, British Columbia. Surrounded by farmland and pretty much sea level. A dedicated group of enthusiasts formed what was back then the Canadian Hot Rod Association , this is where the limited racing action took place. It must have taken some good talking to have such a professional cigar packing appearance or maybe just being at sea level and 3 hours North of the 1975 Seattle Fall Nationals. Several attempts were made for Boundary Bay to become a real dragstrip, but politics always intervened. Those memories live and today that airstrip and surroundings still remain the perfect place to have a dragstrip.

Re: Awesome video...Jenkins/Landy match race '75
This video is awesome. This era (70's/80's)of match racing pro stocks is probably the best. Can you imagine Greg and Warren (or others) doing this with today's pro stocks. The idea of putting mufflers on for the street is a little far fetched, but at least the cars looked like street cars (sort of). It's too bad the pro stocks of today are so far from these cars, because they are still one of my favorites to watch. I'll bet these two guys (jenkins and landy) are match racing in heaven, along with the others that have passed on.

Re: Awesome video...Jenkins/Landy match race '75
I loved it! Gotta agree with Jeff too. This was about 6 years before I started going to the races. Love the old skool stuff! Those Vegas, Pintos, Hornet's, and Arrows were awesome. Saw a documentary 15 years or so ago about the Pro Stock cars and drivers. They were using the traction dust, and had in car cameras filming the guys rowing the four speeds with cigars clenched in their teeth. Im not sure of the year it was made but Grumpy was driving a Camaro and Landy and Leal were driving Dusters. Don Jackson
