Ingenuity in Action 1958 NHRA Hot Rod Film - Full Version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqCm7YO2GOI#normal)
WOW what a blast from the past!
[thumbsup]
It's amazing what they used to get away with, really. Most of that stuff probably wouldn't pass tech today.
I miss drag racing (as a participant)..... :-\
love this.
safety is obviously job one.
hah.
Couldn't stop watching it.... Awesome, awesome footage!
(Funny though at 17:35 the one guy litters and doesn't think anything of it...) [roll]
Incredible video! It's interesting knowing the history of some of the cars and knowing some of the people themselves -- I'll forward to two of them who were shown.

With some hard work and no tickets or warnings for 6 months maybe I can become a member of the Knights... [thumbsup]
