I'm only 31. As far as I know they used it since at least the 60s.

I heard it a lot in the 90s and early 2000s as a kid. Usually when the Summer Nationals came to town.

I heard it a lot as a kid (late 80s/early 90s for me) as well. My father's boss raced at Island and Raceway Park for years.

They used it every year for the swap meet and for the old time drags up until about 5 years ago

I can’t believe it’s been around that long. I heard that on TV and the radio well into the 2000s.
