Always the showman, here is “Jungle Jim” Liberman doing a burnout with his 1970 Chevy Camaro at Orange County International Raceway in Irvine, California, in November of 1970 at the annual Manufacturers Funny Car Race. Note the electronic score boards in the background, the first of their kind in drag racing. OCIR was considered a “super track” when it opened back in 1967.
