Old Roadster video

  1. Hmm, I must have missed the roadster in there. I may be wrong but my guess is the link is not what you intended.

    Pretty neat made to look like an old event BUT the roll bars give it away.

    I particularly like the large tool box with that big old hand hack saw on the top !
    How things have changed...

  6. Cheers for that, seen some of it before but more than worth seeing again, totally cool. Wonder how many in that clip survive today in some form. JW

    Thanks for posting, lots of history there, assume the track is somewhere in Southern California, given the scenery and the drivers...anyone know where?
     
  11. Love it!
    Thanks

    Don't know early SoCal track history, but maybe Riverside?

    I'm pretty sure its the old Saugus race track out by Valencia,Ca. where Magic mtn. is now.
    Especially with Jim Rathman in the footage.
    Great old memories!----Thanks for posting.

    Don, Drive'em,

    I looked up Saugus Speedway, looks like you guys were right, here is an overhead shot, "1950s" is the caption, the hills in the background match those in the video.
