Firebird was a regular stop for
many of the top racers in Pro
Stock in the 1970's. One of the
more famous racers of the time
was Butch Leal and his
"California Flash" Plymouth
Duster. Leal match raced Bill
Bagshaw with his "Red Light
Bandit". This pit scene shot
shows a number of interested
observers including the original
Firebird chief starter Joe
Allred (right in cowboy hat).
