Great interview, lots of goodies in that big head he said he had, he mentioned Chet Herbert, that's Doug's dad, Chet invented the roller rocker/lifters and the zoomie headers, got to meet Doug after he built a big block chevy for me, thanks for the video.

I saw "The Freight Train" race and in the Pits. It was AWESOME. Orange County International Raceway..... O.C.I.R. - “The County“…."The Super Track" I helped build the track at only 13 years old in July 1967. I was at the track over 100 times for the next 18 years until "The Last Drag Race" Oct 6th 1983. I was 13 years old first time standing next to a Nitro Burning Top Fuel Dragster. The ground shook and the smell of Nitro was enough to choke you. I was immediately Injected, Infected, Addicted and Amazed with this sport. I have owned 10 drag race/street cars since then.
