1962 Vintage Drag Races

Cool. Even had a Henry J in there....

 

I agree...the only thing that woulda made it better would be to lose the music so's you could hear the motor sounds...

 

If that were filmed 4 yrs later and about 1000 mi. further east that could have been me in my blue/white 55 2dht. Deja vue all over again.

 

Kind of a fun video but bein' in the left lane was like the "KISS OF DEATH" LOL

 

But if you think about it, that music was part of their car culture at that time. I think that most of the younger guys seem to hate it because it was played to death at all the rod runs for so many years.........video was cool reguardless.

 

Nice,

When did they start useing christmas trees for starters?

Doc.

 

I saw my first Christmas tree at the '63 Indy Nationals.

It was at that same event that I saw my first "show us your ***s !" sign.

 

love old footage like that....thanks Brush!
