I asked Lee Valentine How Al Lombardo was doing…he replied “Al’s doing well, had skin graft surgery on his leg this week. Keeping him in hospital over the weekend to keep him off his feet. Should be able to get home Monday.”

HEY

Ive posted about this before and people doubted me!
I have said that there were video cameras WITH SOUND for sale to the general public before Dover Drag Strip closed in 1976 !
Here is one a guy said he bought in 1975 to take home movies for sale on Craigs List!
Sooo where are the videos??????????
Gotta be out there someplace!!

[frank-j-majauskasParticipant]

Hey V-Man, Maybe the guys that bought those expensive video cameras were not
drag racers or drag racing fans ❓ 😮 When you think about it, how many guys that
raced seriously or just for fun carried a camera with them to the track ❓ 🙄 Not
very many, or we would have tons of racing pictures…

Frank… 😎

[babycakesParticipant]

FRANK, your 100% right!!! The ‘last’ thing I would ever remember,was bringing a camera along! Mostly,I remember was the girls who tagged along would bring the cameras to take pictures.The reason I guess for ‘me’ was I was a ‘racer’, most of the time,not a ‘spectator’! Either I was working on my race car,or a friends,or bench racing with others,in the pits. Don’t get me wrong, I’m ‘thankful’, and ‘greatful’ to those who took the ‘classic’ pictures,back in the day, for us to enjoy nowadays! 😉 🙂 Pete.

[dinoKeymaster]

Still shots Yeah…V-Bob…We got 4000 and every once in a while ,a new batch crops up…I think the issue with the Movie cameras was the Cost. Back then when they introduced new technology,it was expensive.
‘$225.” in 1975 is worth:
$1,017.97 in 2015

Canon Auto Zoom 518 Super 8 according to Canon Camera Museum marketed September 1967. It has a price tag on the box for $229.90 from North Park Camera in San Diego. $229.90 in 1972 518 has a sound feature which is not mentioned at the Canon site and is not included in the manual except on a separate loose page which explains the process. The box also refers to the sound feature only with a separate sticker stuck on the box. Involved a hip hung Casette player wired to the camera

Kodak Ektasound 130 (1973-77) The first camera to record image and sound on magnetically stripped Super 8 film. ( Unfortunately, it is difficult to get film that will work in these cameras today.sold for $224.50.
