Dwight Guild has a video page to die for if you're a fan of the classic stuff. His countless videos focusing on racing at Orange County International Raceway in Southern California has not only some of the finest footage from January 1980 and 1981, but also great sound.

"I shot many many hours of "home movie" style drag race video, primarily from OCIR, 1979 thru 1983," wrote Guild on his Youtube.com channel. "I decided to break down the videos into individual runs, and load them up for racers, their families, fans, and friends to enjoy. Aside from shooting tons of video over the years, I also served as a crew member or crew chief on various cars, including several of Hayden Proffitt's. Props to Hayden, my racing mentor, and Al Amato, my video mentor."
