I was there in Gulfport Mississippi in 1980 for this event as a spectator. Drag racing has come a long way since then as well as the bikes. Nothing sounds quite like the old Kaw big bores with lumpy cams and no fuel injectiion. RUN WHATCHA BRUNG !

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

I sold my mint condition 78 Z1R to buy my ZX14, no kidding. I still have a 77 kz1000 show bike though.
