How cool watching those classics coming to life at the tree !!
Only raced one of my vehicles at the strip (US 30 ) 1 time, my 57 Chevy sedan delivery. I won my race but never made it to the next round. Blew the Clutch & Pressure plate. I was able to limp her home but never returned as I decided return trips to the strip probably were going to cost me more than I could afford.

Great video! Can someone name the second song, love to know what it is - maybe use your android phone with Google assistant or Shazam I tried but couldn’t get it

I used Shazam on my iPhone for the second song (starting at 1:30 into the video). It was "Corporate Conga Line" by Krackatoa.

This is great because its mostly all door slammers, something I can relate to. Got my driver's license in 1973 and this is what I saw and was a part of at the drags, loved the handful of Oldses there in the video.

Thank you! They must’ve looped it or had an instrumental version, really sounds great, and works well with the mood of the video. Not sure about the rest of you, but music is as fun of a hobby as Oldsmobiles are. And a necessary distraction from all the craziness and hate out there today.
