Drag racing video 1959 NHRA Nationals

[Dr Crankenstein]

A cool vintage film following one team's quest for NHRA fame. Crank-driven blowers, Art Afron's Allison-powered Green Monster, Competition Coupes, Ramchargers, etc, etc.

Be patient, it's 27 mins long!

I love that video, I re-mastered it into a DVD and have watched it at least a half dozen times.

I've seen it before but love it. I really like to see how low-tech and simple (as compared to today) everything was back then, even as late as the mid 70's. Guys rebuilding their engines in hotel parking lots and on the bed of open trailers and such.
