Part 3 to bad it had to end. See Ron Capps at age 7 at Lions., August 25, 2009
This review is from: LIONS THE GREATEST DRAG STRIP (Part 3/1967-'72) by Don Gillespie: Third and final video documentary on sport's most famous drag strip (Long Beach, Calif.); rare photos, film, interviews with leading pioneers. (DVD)
The end of Lions, and how it came about. The DVD starts out with the voice of
the late great Steve Evans! More and more drivers try to tame these out of
control top fuel rides, untill it nearly takes the life of Big Daddy Don Garlits.
Everybody tried to get the rear engine car to work, and some made it work for a
short time, but Garlits made it work forever. Then the last drag race came on
December 2nd 1972. As they say (And the rest is history) Part 3 is as good as
1 and 2. Trust me when I say, you need all 3. Hats off to Don Gillespie
for the best documentary on the best drag strip of all time (LIONS).

.....any old timer would love this DVD, plus shareing it with your kids makes them understand why we loved that time and miss it so much. A great job captureing a time frame never to be seen again.

A better time., February 10, 2010
This review is from: LIONS THE GREATEST DRAG STRIP (Part 3/1967-'72) by Don Gillespie: Third and final video documentary on sport's most famous drag strip (Long Beach, Calif.); rare photos, film, interviews with leading pioneers. (DVD)
The best of the California I grew up with. Before it became an overpopulated police state filled with too many liberal conformist drones. Gillespie is to be congratulated for compiling some of the essence of the wonderful things we experienced in our youth. The quintessential fearless American can-do attitude when people who are afraid to drive to the store unless surrounded by a dozen air bags would have been simply incomprehensible. Progress is good, but the softies might benefit from a tour of duty in the Marines or getting sat down behind one of these monsters from when "No Fear" was a hell of a lot more than a slogan on a t-shirt. Buy it-you'll love it. Bring a little of the wildness back. Freedom!
