Notes from the host...:

From time to time, I am asked if I have any film from New York National Speedway. Although I have very little, there is someone who has more than enough to appease your appetite and will be very happy to get them to you. He is my very good friend, Phil Larsen. Phil has been filming and videotaping from the 60s to the present. He has attended races at N Y National, Connecticut Dragway, New England Dragway, Atco, and Englishtown. His recent move to Florida hasn’t slowed him down as he now does his taping at Bradenton Raceway. Phil is an early contributor to Jackson Brothers Drag Oldie Videos. His footage is amazing! You may call Phil at (941) 792-5616.

Although he is listed on my links page, I have to mention Jim Amos’ Bee On Video site: www.beeonvideo.homestead.com His video productions are well known by the drag racing fraternity. He has the footage and the knowledge, the right ingredients to make great drag racing tapes. He puts a lot of time and effort into his work. In fact, he even puts sound where there is none. You need to visit his website and get his tapes. You will not be disappointed.
