Here's a peak at a few of the great photos sent to us from Dennis Kincaid.
Kincaid started racing back in the 60's and continues to race to this day in his Pontiac. He also wrote articles and took photos of the local drags for the El Paso Times and other local newspapers in the late 60's to early 70's. Dennis was generous enough to share his collection of photos taken from the starting line of El Paso Dragway in it's very first years of operation.
So check out the way they used to drag race in El Paso.

I'll be adding some notes to some of the photos
that Dennis wrote on the photos. Check back for updates.
