NHRA history in review

Whwn I was at the U.S. Nationals in '71, there were a lot of people wearing day-glo orange styrofoam pith helmets that had Honest Charley's logo on them. That was wild...

I wonder why Jeg's doesn't do the same thing, today, with yellow pith helments? They are great protection from the sun, probably cost very little to make/buy, and are a walking advertisement for the provider. I'm sure Honest Charley was giving them away; they were everyehere...

Anybody still got one?

Anybody on this board that was AT the '71 Nationals????
