In looking back, the drag racing world was a different place in the 1970s. “It’s a lot different today than it was back then,” Kaase says. “You have to remember there were no data loggers or other electronic stuff. We didn’t even run our engines on the dyno. Jenkins was probably the only racer who ran his stuff on the dyno. At the track, your only feedback was the e.t. and trap speed. They didn’t even have 60-foot times. You had to be a real racer to know what to do. Good racers really stood out.
