Hot Rods Muroc dry lakes 1940

  1. I would imagine somebody has probably posted this video on here before but just in case I am reposting it to the original link. Whoever it the original poster is on YouTube they deserve the extra views on the video for sure. I have no idea who the person is that posted this video but it's way cool So it's worth the share. It is probably the earliest moving picture I have ever seen of Hot rods If there's anything earlier please feel free to post them I would love to watch them.

    Great video, having never been to the dry lakes or Bonniville I'm always amazed how cars are lined up along the race route & the total lack of roll bars as well.

    It looks like it was posted 7 years ago because the first comment is mine. Don't forget to hit the like ****on (thumbs up) at the bottom because it only has 33 likes for 35 hundred views, and that will help more people see it.

    How is this not getting more attention on the world's best traditional hot rod forum?
