"Desperate Rock'n'Roll" Vol 2

...Anyway, Don Beebe is saying, over a loudspeaker, "I hate to break up that dancing, but let's have a little drag racing."...
...He has a phonograph hooked up to the loudspeaker, and he puts on a record, produced by Riverside Rec., of Drag-strip sounds, mainly dragsters blasting off and squealing from the starting line. Well, he doesn'treally break up the dancing, but a hundred kids come over, when they hear the drag-strip sounds, to where Beebe has a slot racing stand. Beebe takes a microphone and announces that Dick Dale, the singer, is here, and anybodywho will race Dick at the slot-racing stand will get one of his records. Dick Dale is pretty popular among the kids out here because he sings a lot of "surfing" songs. The sufers - surfboard riders - are a cult much admired by all the kids. They have their own argot, with adjectives like "hang ten", meaning the best there is. They also go in for one particular brand of customizing: they take old wood-bodied station wagons, which they call "woodies" and fix them up for riding, sleeping and haulingsurfing equipment for their weekends at the beach. The surfers also get a hell of a bang out of slot racing for some reason, so with Dick Dale slot racing at the Teen Fair, you have about three areas of the arcane teen world all rolled into one...
