Back when men were men! I grew up during these times and recognize many of these names and cars. I didn't see my first drag strip though until the early 80s. Lots of fun to go for the day. Another thing that is a lot of fun is to go to the county fair and watch the crash derby. Last derby I went to this past summer had about 400 cars in it! All cars were demolished by the end. They bring in big bulldozers and fork lifts trucks to lift the cars up and take them off the track. Quite a few fires sparked off too.
Just listen to the sound of these engines in the drag film.
