History Santa Ana Drags 1953-Popular Mechanics

I love reading old magazines. Someone passed the July 53 issue of Popular Mechanics my way a while back and I found myself leafing through it this morning. Father's day and all, I thought I'd share:

 

Nice find... I enjoy the history of early drag racing cnd the creativity of the participants

 

good stuff ! thanks for sharing!

 

I love seeing old articles like that. Thanks for taking the time to post that, and "Happy Father's Day".

 

Very rare copy, never seen it before, THANKS!

The Ranger-engined 27T was Jot Hornes (he passed away recently), below is the Bernadini Bros roadster (now very well restored)...think the cut-up Crosley on p. 134 is Otto Ryssman..

 

Thanks for the info! I'd love to see more on those. I'll have to look up the Bernadini Brother's roadster.

 

Just think how fast they would have run if they had a credit card.
