Super Sunday: 1967
KDWB presented “Super Sunday,” starting with their third annual Drag Race Festival at Minnesota Dragways (Highway 242 in Coon Rapids) on August 20, 1967. 10,260 spectators watched 552 cars race, and trophies were presented by Miss Mann Theaters Teenager (where is she now?). Also featured was a grudge match between Earl Trout and Tac Hammer.
That night at the Minneapolis Auditorium they presented Herman’s Hermits, the Blues Magoos, and the Who, who totally wrecked their instruments. Ticket prices ranged from $3.25 to $5.25, with discount tickets available at Pedwin Shoes at Knollwood.
Mike says the band kept most of his negatives, but he still has the drum sticks!
