It's like I keep saying:  Those who would sacrifice a free range session for a giant beer, deserve neither free range time nor a giant beer.

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).....  :-\

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.
