I was there at Dragway 42 in Ohio.  Must have been 1974 or 75.  Real neat part was, to build MORE excitement – as EJ warmed her up on the stand at the starting line, his  crew slid a steel pan under the rear tire, poured some gas in it and “lit the sucker”! After a good minute,  they pulled the pan away, EJ cranked on the throttle, the crew pushed the bike forward off the stand – and he smoked that rear tire ALL THE WAY to the finish line!!! Miss those days – ALOT
