York owner/operator Bill Holz talks about the importance of the Super Stock Nationals to the success of the track. We also talked to Frank LeSueur about the East Coast Funny Car Circuit that he directed back in the 1970's. The circuit cars ran numerous shows at York. Frank also tells a Jungle Jim story that I found very interesting. In addition we talk to Joe Jacono about his funny car career. Joe is a remarkable guy and I think you will enjoy this interview very much.
