WOW!!! That's awesome. Thanks for the video.

Some guys on here weren't even born in 84. I was still in elementry/middle school. My first time out there was around 84-85.

LXtasy · 01-10-2010, 09:41 PM

91notch · 01-10-2010, 10:08 PM

Thanks for the videos man. It was definitely cool to see how that track/the sport has progressed locally. I wasn't even born yet lol.

Whaler · 01-10-2010, 11:16 PM

Man, does that bring back memories. I remember all of the cars you named in the Cooper River Dragway video.

dustedmopar · 01-10-2010, 11:38 PM

That's awesome, my dad raced back then with Tommy Murry and those boys. I was born in 84 and i remember seeing pictures of my mom holding me as my dad raced out at Cooper River.

Nice Videos. It's always cool to see drag racing from back in the day.

I remember putting VHT down in front of the tires like everyone in the video did. You can hear how high Dan Perrin's car was wound up. If I remember correctly, he was turning over 10,000 rpm when he dropped the clutch and the motor was only a 302 ci.
