This shirt freezes a legendary night at Orange County International Raceway (OCIR) in 1980—a track that was more than just asphalt; it was a cathedral of speed. On this summer night, Funny Cars lined the strip like rockets ready for orbit, their supercharged engines grumbling like caged beasts.
Fans packed the grandstands, a sea of faces lit by the glow of floodlights and the flames spitting from nitro pipes. Then came the fireworks—brilliant reds and blues bursting overhead as the smell of burning rubber mixed with nitromethane. It wasn’t just a race; it was a festival of horsepower, where legends like Don Prudhomme, Tom McEwen, and countless others carved their names into drag racing history.
OCIR, dubbed the “Disneyland of Dragstrips,” was famous for its showmanship—glass control tower, landscaped grounds, electronic scoreboards, and events that blended entertainment with raw mechanical fury. Nights like this made the track unforgettable, cementing its place as one of the most iconic strips in NHRA history. Though OCIR closed its gates in 1983, photos like this keep its spirit alive—a snapshot of speed, spectacle, and the thrill of being there when Funny Cars roared under fireworks at the Supertrack.
