The guy in front of the Thud is lifting the tow bar, to hook to a tug that is not in picture.

girl from the 1960 movie 'the time machine'?

 

Yvette Mimieux....one of the sexiest, most innocent looking sweeties of the silver stage!

 

I think we could expect thrilling speeds, possibly in excess of 60 MPH, with this bunch

 

----------------
My money's on that "Number 9"
Corvair. What he gives away to
that big, fast, powerful flathead
Nash-6 powered "Number 11"
Rambler on the straights the
'Vair, with it's 'poor man's Porsche'
rear engine and swing-axle rear
suspension, will probably make
up for on the corners!! And 60
mph??? Ha! Surely you jest! I'm
betting that almost all them will
top out at 65 or maybe even 70
almost, going down the backstretch!!
A thrill a minute, I tell ya'! Be there,
or be square!

Unsafe..... at any speed........??
A yawn-a-thon?

 

Thanks!
there's a shot I've never seen!

And seriously.
Back when I was younger
I had a Vair over 100
And at the time, it was pretty worn out.
On an open track, it would be fun!
I did that on the street.............

 

The Hyper-pack Valiants already finished the race and drove home...

" Eight factory-backed Valiants entered the 1960 NASCAR compact car race at Daytona Beach, and humbled the competition; the Valiants came in first through eighth. After a similar performance the following year, the race was dropped."

I'm currently in Kalamazoo at the /Corvair Convention.

took a side trip to the Auburn Cord Duesenburg and the National Automotive Museum in Auburn Indiana

 

Couple other folks beat me to the tow bar tug response

 

Ever bust a rear motor mount and drop the engine onto the road?
