A couple of interesting photos from Virginia's Old Dominion Speedway in the 50's. It appears that the clocks are started by the car in the right lane. At the finish line it looks like an old gas station "bell ringer" hose to stop the clocks!! The winner is determined by the brave guy with the flag. After the cars pass, he steps out on the track and holds the flag in the winners lane.....THE GOOD OLD DAYS!!!
And it will be until people start posting photos here that have already been seen on the Drag Cars In Motion thread just to run up their post count.
