I started my drag racing back in the sixties....we did use a flag man..usually the best lookin chick available...what a shock when I had to learn the tree...trees back then were nothing like todays however...there was no staging..with the guy on pinks i would be gone as soon as i saw an arm flinch or a shoulder move....too much drama for my taste.....run what ya brung and go heads up on motor only...now that is racing for pinks(oh by the way in Illinois they are not pink but kinda greensih beige)
