Texas Wheel-stand Legends--Round Table Discussion

1 year ago, I happened to record a rare conversation between three Drag Racing Legends.  This fly on the wall recording features: Gary Watson (Texas Wheelstand King), Randy Curtis (Fugitive Corvette), and Carl Magee (Flying Red Baron).

In the late 1960's through 1970's these three drivers built and raced high powered exhibition wheelstanders.  These crowd favorites would routinely run side by side quarter mile passes on two wheels, showering sparks, and entertaining thousands with their driving feats.

This recording is unedited and simply a interesting trip down memory lane for 3 drivers that traveled the US, Canada, and Mexico, putting on drag racing shows over nearly two decades.

There are several interesting interludes as the drivers discuss Randy Curtis' accident in 1979, as well as a host of travel and racing related stories.  In particular, listen for the various interactions with other legendary drag racers of the era.

For fans of drag racing, this is a glimpse back into an era when drivers were car owners, builders, crew chiefs, and architects of their own racing businesses.
