world record set at Mission in 1970


I know, lots of records were set at Mission. The near to sea level track produced lots of good air for combustion. The above clipping notes that the AA/FD mph record was set there back in 1970. Note sure how long that lasted. 232.55 seems slow these days, even with the 1000 foot finish line of today.

Bring back the quarter-mile!

This was back in the days when the divisional points meets included top fuel, top gas and funny car.
