EVERYBODY from the LSR community in Santa Barbara area drinks Keystone at the salt. Ask Fast Freddie about his old dragster - the Beer Can Special.

I hawled it to the 1959 Smokers March meet in the back of my bosses poultry Van [used to pick up crates of iced and tressed chickens ect not live chickens]. I think Fred was about 23 at the time but a lot of us were under age. We had
3 kegs of beer in back. In those days the fans drank LOTS of beer. The cans at the fences were 2-3 ft deep from fence.
This put a bit of a wait at the porta-potties. Hey after emptying one of the kegs we had our own private porta poty
That sucker was full at the end of the day and as we were empting it on the ground [its getting dark] these guys come along and say ''hey these guys are throwing away beer'' dip there fingers in it and say ''yep its beer alright''
Jay and Donny Torgeson at that time were running a Model A sedan.... blown Olds gasser with a railroad track mounted under the rear window and held several track records with it.
