  • Glorious footage here, hard recreate anything like today when everything is so nannied. These events seem to have less safety than most streetracing videos we see on YouTube!

  • Grumpys Toy,one of my all time favorites!

  • WOW......I use to go to Cecil County back in the late '60's. Our family had a camp at North East and we'd visit the track with my cousin. Saw some great racing and big names there. thanks for this great video.

  • something about vintage color film appeals to me, great stuff here

  • Back before nitrous and automatics. Bring your four speed and let it go. Builders were builders. None of this bottle rocket bullcrap you see now. I was born an era too late. God bless all these men from these days.

  • The Fords had so much HP not many could get a handle on them, so they had to lift off or wreck.

  • The flying carpet flew and crashed.
