I remember that car. The late Joe P was one of the nicest people you could ever meet. Those early funnys were insane. I remember when it took a 6.15 or so to get in the show, 230-250 was fast......... Lil' John Lombardo, Raymond Beatle, Dale Pulde, Waco Billy Meyers, The Snake, Kenny Bernstein, Ed Mccullach, Roland Leong, Gary Ormsby, and countless others..Man do those guys bring back some fond memories......OCIR's 64 Funny car Shows.....The FOX hunt........Hmmmmmm......MP

I have never paid to get in to Pomona because of participation with various cars over the years. After I quit drag racing, (late 80s), I enjoy it on TV and seldom miss a Saturday qualifing, or Sunday's finals. A couple of years ago, a friend was given Winternationals weekend passes, so on Sunday we went. What a terrible disapointment. I know, ex racers make lousy spectators, but it truly sucked. First was the speakers they had all down the fence to 1/2 track. Not PA speakers, bullshit music speakers. The rap crap music played so loud I couldn't even hear the fuelers fire up at the stating line. The music continued through the burn outs and only stopped just before the green light. If that wasn't bad enough, the big screen had all the same commericals as you get at home!! Loud, through the same frecking speakers along the fence. You could not escape the terrible music, or the commericals. I finally went to the top end to get away from the crap. It was there I realized the nitro cars were not pounding through the lights due to the fuel percentage cutback, it just wasn't the same. I will never go back to Pomona, even FREE, unless whomever decided to have music at a drag race is pulled behind Force's funnycar all the way to the sand trap.....Sure, music has it's place. I seem to recall the Foxhunts of OCIR having music during the intermission, and enjoyed the dancing foxes, but Pomona is off my list of places I want to go. IMO, truly a shame to whore such a hallowed venue into some kind of sh!tty music nightclub atmosphere. You want music? Listen to 8000HP!!!!! I love the smell of NITRO in the morning.......But it won't be at Pomona.............MP
